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

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an FDA-approved technique for treating medication-resistant depression. Conventional rTMS includes high frequency (HF) to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and low frequency to right DLPFC. However, not all depressed patients could benefit from standard rTMS protocols. Meta-analytical evidence indicated that there was an average response rate of 29.3% for patients receiving the most commonly adopted HF rTMS to the left DLPFC. Hence, newer forms of rTMS paradigms are warranted to improve antidepressant response and remission rate in patients with depression, especially those who are refractory to adequate antidepressant trials. In the current chapter, we review newer forms of rTMS paradigms and the content will cover standard theta burst stimulation (TBS), prolonged iTBS (piTBS), accelerated rTMS (aTMS), deep TMS (dTMS), priming TMS (pTMS), synchronized TMS (sTMS), and magnetic seizure therapy (MST).
