Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with chronic insomnia: a case report.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 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
Long-term insomnia affects the normal life and work of individuals and increases the risk of various health problems, including mental illness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and safe treatment for improving sleep. In this study, we report the case a 52-year-old woman who received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) after agreeing to publish her case. In order to evaluate the quality of sleep and the stability of emotional symptoms, clinical evaluations were conducted at baseline, after 10 treatment sessions, after 20 treatment sessions, and 1 month after the end of treatment. After completing rTMS combined with tDCS, the patient showed an overall clinical improvement, with clinical changes mainly observed in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores and polysomnography, and this improvement was maintained 1 month after the intervention. This case provides the first evidence for the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of combined rTMS and tDCS in a patient with chronic insomnia. CLINICAL
