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

Therapeutic non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation with previous treatment protocols showed at best moderate effect sizes and large interindividual variability with a substantial proportion of non-responders. A currently intensively discussed approach to address these problems is individualized closed-loop stimulation. ConnectToBrain is a synergy project funded by the European Research Council to develop noninvasive closed-loop therapeutic stimulation of network disorders of the human brain.It consists of three main pillars: (1) development of a multichannel transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) coil array that covers nearly all of the cerebral cortex and enables highly precise electronic control of location, direction, intensity and timing of the induced electrical fields, (2) development of real-time analysis of activity and connectivity in brain networks using electroencephalography (EEG) for instantaneous spatial and temporal control of stimulation (brain state-dependent, closed-loop stimulation) and adaptive optimization of treatment effects by machine learning and (3) translation of these neurotechnological innovations into physiological and clinical studies.
