Functional Network Changes After High-Frequency rTMS Over the Most Activated Speech-Related Area Combined With Speech Therapy in Chronic Stroke With Non-fluent Aphasia.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveHigh-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) to the lesional hemisphere requires prudence in selecting the appropriate stimulation spot. Functional near-IR spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be used in both selecting the stimulation spot and assessing the changes of the brain network. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of HF-rTMS on the most activated spot identified with fNIRS and assess the changes of brain functional network in the patients with poststroke aphasia.
methodsA total of five patients received HF-rTMS to the most activated area on the lesional hemisphere, followed by 30 min of speech therapy for 10 days. The Korean version of the Western aphasia battery (K-WAB) and fNIRS evaluation were done 1 day before the treatment, 1 day and 1 month after the last treatment session. Changes of K-WAB and paired cortical interaction and brain network analysis using graph theory were assessed.
resultsAphasia quotient in K-WAB significantly increased after the treatment (
conclusionImprovement of language function and changes of corticocortical interaction between language-related cortical areas were observed after HF-rTMS on the most activated area identified by fNIRS with combined speech therapy in the patients with poststroke aphasia.
