1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) can depolarize cortical neurons through the intact skin and skull. The characteristics of the induced electric field (E-field) have a major impact on specific outcomes of TMS. Using multi-scale computational modeling, we explored whether the stimulation parameters derived from the primary motor cortex (M1) induce comparable macroscopic E-field strengths and subcellular/cellular responses in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). To this aim, we calculated the TMS-induced E-field in 16 anatomically realistic head models and simulated the changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels of morphologically and biophysically realistic human pyramidal cells in the M1 and DLPFC. We found that the conventional intensity selection methods (i.e., motor threshold and fixed intensities) produce variable macroscopic E-fields. Consequently, it was challenging to produce comparable subcellular/cellular responses across cortical regions with distinct folding characteristics. Prospectively, personalized stimulation intensity selection could standardize the E-fields and the subcellular/cellular responses to repetitive TMS across cortical regions and individuals. The suggested computational approach points to the shortcomings of the conventional intensity selection methods used in clinical settings. We propose that multi-scale modeling has the potential to overcome some of these limitations and broaden our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms for TMS.
