"A Theta Burst Stimulation on Pre-SMA: Proof-of-Concept of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Gambling Disorder".
Article in Journal of gambling studies, 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
Gambling Disorder (GD) is a condition constituting a public health concern, with a burden of harm which is much greater than that of drug addiction. Patients with GD are generally reluctant to pharmacologic treatment and seem to prefer nonpharmacological interventions. Therefore, this proof-of-concept study aimed to investigate the feasibility of continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) on the pre-SMA in six patients (5 males, 1 female), aged 30-64 years, with a DSM-5 diagnosis of Gambling Disorder and no comorbid mood disorders. Participants received over 10 sessions of Continuous TBS (cTBS) over pre-SMA bilaterally and have been evaluated using rating scales, including the PG-YBOCS and the CGI, before treatment (T0), at day 10 of treatment (T1) and at day 30 after treatment (T2); cTBS intervention was safe and without side effects. Since the design of our study does not allow us to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the intervention with respect to the improvement of the functioning of the subject with GD, a more in-depth study, including a sham condition, neurocognitive measures of disinhibition and decision making, and collecting follow-up data on the sustained effect of TBS over a longer period is ongoing.
