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

NonInvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) is a potential therapeutic tool with growing interest, but neuronavigation-guided software and tools available for the target determination are mostly either expensive or closed proprietary applications. To address these limitations, we propose GeodesicSlicer, a customizable, free, and open-source NIBS therapy research toolkit. GeodesicSlicer is implemented as an extension for the widely used 3D Slicer medical image visualization and analysis application platform. GeodesicSlicer uses cortical stimulation target from either functional or anatomical images to provide functionality specifically designed for NIBS therapy research. The provided algorithms are tested and they are accessible through a convenient graphical user interface. Modules have been created for NIBS target determination according to the position of the electrodes in the 10-20 system electroencephalogram and calculating correction factors to adjust the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) dose for the treatment. Two illustrative examples are processing with the module. This new open-source software has been developed for NIBS therapy: GeodesicSlicer is an alternative for laboratories that do not have access to neuronavigation system. The triangulation-based MRI-guided method presented here provides a reproducible and inexpensive way to position the TMS coil that may be used without the use of a neuronavigation system.
