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

Neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has emerged as a presurgical language mapping tool distinct from the widely used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We report fMRI and nTMS language-mapping results in 19 pediatric-epilepsy patients and compare those to definitive testing by electrical cortical stimulation, Wada test, and/or neuropsychological testing. Most discordant results occurred when fMRI found right-hemispheric language. In those cases, when nTMS showed left-hemispheric or bilateral language representation, left-hemispheric language was confirmed by definitive testing. Therefore, we propose nTMS should be considered for pediatric presurgical language-mapping when fMRI shows right-hemispheric language, with nTMS results superseding fMRI results in those scenarios.
