Monophasic-Quadripulse Theta Burst Magnetic Stimulation for Motor Palsy Functional Evaluation After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Article in Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is commonly employed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes to enhance recovery following brain injury, such as stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Single-pulse TMS, most commonly used for diagnostic purposes and with motor evoked potential (MEP) recordings, is not suitable for clinical use in patients with severe motor paresis. To overcome this problem, we developed a quadripulse theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (QTS) device that combines the output from 16 stimulators to deliver a train of 16 monophasic magnetic pulses through a single coil. High-frequency theta rhythm magnetic bursts (bursts of four monophasic pulses, at 500 Hz, i.e., with a 2-ms interpulse interval, repeated at 5 Hz) were generated via a set of 16 separate magnetic stimulators connected to a specially designed combination module. No adverse effects or electroencephalogram (EEGs) abnormalities were identified during or after the recordings. MEP amplification in the QTS during four-burst theta rhythm stimulations produced four independent MEPs 20 ms after each burst onset maximizing the final third or fourth burst, which exhibited significantly greater amplitude than those resulting from a single burst or pulse. Motor functional palsy grades after ICH and QTS-MEP parameters and resting motor threshold (RMT) and amplitudes were significantly correlated (r = -0.83/-0.81 and 0.89/0.87; R
