The effect of fluoxetine combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the psychological emotions and cognitive and neurological functions of acute post-stroke depression patients.

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
objectiveThis research was designed to probe into the effects of fluoxetine combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the psychological emotions and the cognitive and neurological functions of acute post-stroke depression patients.
methodsThis experiment recruited 115 acute post-stroke depression patients who were treated in our hospital from February 2018 to April 2020 as the study cohort. 55 of the patients were treated with fluoxetine, and 60 were treated with fluoxetine combined with rTMS. Both groups were treated for 2 months. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), the self-rating depression scale (SDS), the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), the mini mental state scale (MMSE), the Barthel index, and the quality of life scale (SF-36) scores were observed.
resultsCompared with the control group (CG), the SAS, SDS, and NIHSS scores in the research group (RG) decreased, while the MMSE and Barthel index scores increased (
conclusionFluoxetine combined with rTMS can effectively improve the psychological emotions and the cognitive and neurological functions of acute post-stroke depression patients, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.
