1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

State-of-the-art noninvasive electromagnetic recording techniques allow observing neuronal dynamics down to the millisecond scale. Direct measurement of faster events has been limited to in vitro or invasive recordings. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a new paradigm for transcranial magnetic stimulation. We adjusted the stimulation waveform on the microsecond scale, by varying the duration between the positive and negative phase of the induced electric field, and studied corresponding changes in the elicited motor responses. The magnitude of the electric field needed for given motor-evoked potential amplitude decreased exponentially as a function of this duration with a time constant of 17 µs. Our indirect noninvasive measurement paradigm allows studying neuronal kinetics on the microsecond scale in vivo.
