Sympathetic responses to repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation.
Trial report in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeElectromagnetic fields have been administered, with mixed success, in order to treat a variety of ailments. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) elicits brief changes in peripheral sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity. The purpose of this study was to explore the utility of repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (rTSMS) for acute and prolonged modulation of SNS in adult humans.
methods23 healthy men and women were randomly assigned to receive either rTSMS (figure-eight coil aligned with the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae; 10 Hz; n = 14, at 100% intensity of stimulator output) or sham stimulation (n = 13).
resultsCompared with sham, rTSMS did not affect skeletal muscle SNS activity (via microneurography) during the 60-s or 10-min period following stimulation. rTSMS also had no effect on R-to-R interval (RR(int)) and standard deviation of RR(int) (a marker of heart rate variability), blood pressure or plasma concentrations of norepinephrine, epinephrine, insulin and glucose (condition/time interaction, all P > 0.10).
conclusionThese data suggest that rTSMS does not influence SNS in adults. While rTSMS represents a novel application of TMS technology, further study and perhaps modification of the technique is required before use in clinical studies of peripheral SNS function.
