After Effects of Cerebellar Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation on Reflexive Saccades and Smooth Pursuit in Humans.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The use of cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has been attempted for perturbing reflexive and voluntary eye movements, but discrepancies are seen between the results of distinct studies possibly due to the different stimulation sites, intensities, and paradigms. We describe the after effects of 20 and 40 s continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) as compared to sham stimulation, applied over the lateral cerebellar vermis and paravermis on Reflexive Saccades (RS) and Smooth Pursuit (SP) eye movements, recorded in the 30 min following stimulation. The experiments were carried out in eight healthy volunteers, and eye movements were recorded monocularly with video-oculography. The 40 s cTBS significantly increased the amplitude of ipsilateral RS and the acceleration of the ipsilateral SP, and this effect was detectable all over the 30-min recording period; 40 s cTBS did not modify the other parameters, namely the peak velocity, the duration and the latency of RS, and the latency and the velocity of SP. The 20 s cTBS was ineffective on all RS and SP parameters. Finally, we detected a significant quite-linear reduction of RS peak velocity over time, but this was independent from cTBS and was probably caused by fatigue. The effects of 40 s cTBS in our experiments mimic the disorder of ocular motility in Wallenberg's syndrome and could result from functional impairment of cerebellopontine pathways. This effect lasts 30 min at least, and can provide a useful framework for adaptive ocular motor studies.
