Assessment of cortical inhibition depends on inter individual differences in the excitatory neural populations activated by transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used to probe inhibitory intracortical neurotransmission and has been used to infer the neurobiological dysfunction that may underly several neurological disorders. One technique, short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), indexes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibitory activity and is a promising biomarker. However emerging evidence suggests SICI does not exclusively represent GABAergic activity because it may be influenced by inter-individual differences in the specific excitatory neural populations activated by TMS. Here we used the latency of TMS motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to index these inter-individual differences, and found that a significant proportion of the observed variability in SICI magnitude was accounted for by MEP latency, r = - 0.57, r
