Fast acquisition of resting motor threshold with a stimulus-response curve - Possibility or hazard for transcranial magnetic stimulation applications?
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivePrevious research has suggested that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) related cortical excitability measures could be estimated quickly using stimulus-response curves with short interstimulus intervals (ISIs). Here we evaluated the resting motor threshold (rMT) estimated with these curves.
methodsStimulus-response curves were measured with three ISIs: 1.2-2 s, 2-3 s, and 3-4 s. Each curve was formed with 108 stimuli using stimulation intensities ranging from 0.75 to 1.25 times the rMT
resultsThe ISI did not affect the rMT estimated from the curves (
conclusionsAt the group level, the stimulus-response curves are unaffected by the short ISI. At the individual level, these curves are highly affected by the ISI. SIGNIFICANCE: Estimating rMT using stimulus-response curves with short ISIs impacts the rMT estimate and should be avoided in clinical and research TMS applications.
