Parietal double-cone coil stimulation in tinnitus.
Trial report in Experimental brain research, 2012. 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
Non-pulsatile tinnitus is considered to be an auditory phantom percept. The extremely emotional context of disabling tinnitus often leads to a higher level of selective attention directed toward the tinnitus. As such, tinnitus is a continuously distracting auditory event. Auditory attention is associated with the activation of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), and modulating the IPS with 10 Hz transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) creates the ability to ignore salient distractors. Thus, it can be expected that modulating the parietal area might interfere with the perception of tinnitus. The effect of TMS on tinnitus is evaluated using a double-cone coil tilted to the left parietal area in 24 individuals (study 1) and in 40 individuals with the double-cone coil symmetrically overlying both parietal areas (study 2). When transient tinnitus suppression is noted, the patient is asked to estimate the decrease in tinnitus in percentage using the numeric rating scale. The procedure is repeated with stimulations at sham, 1 and 10 Hz, each stimulation session consisting of 200 pulses for study 1 and for study 2 stimulations at sham, 1, 5, and 10 Hz, each stimulation session consisting of 200 pulses. For both studies, the order of the different stimulation frequencies was randomized over the participants. For study 1, patients report a significant transient reduction of the tinnitus percept for 10 Hz stimulation in comparison with, respectively, pre-treatment, sham, and 1 Hz stimulation, with a suppression effect of 11.36 %. No significant effect was obtained for 1 Hz stimulation with the coil tilted toward the left parietal area. For study, 2 patients revealed a significant suppression effect on 1, 5, and 10 Hz in comparison with pre-treatment. However, only stimulation at 5 and 10 Hz had a significant difference in comparison with sham with a suppression effect of, respectively, 8.78 and 9.50 %. Our data suggest that the parietal area is involved in tinnitus perception and that 10 Hz TMS using the double-cone coil overlying the parietal area can modulate tinnitus.
