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) delivered to the angular gyrus (AG) affects hippocampal function and associated behaviors (Thakral PP, Madore KP, Kalinowski SE, Schacter DL. Modulation of hippocampal brain networks produces changes in episodic simulation and divergent thinking. 2020a. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 117:12729-12740). Here, we examine if functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-guided TMS disrupts the gradient organization of temporal signal properties, known as the temporal organization, in the hippocampus (HPC) and entorhinal cortex (ERC). For each of 2 TMS sessions, TMS was applied to either a control site (vertex) or to a left AG target region (N = 18; 14 females). Behavioral measures were then administered, and resting-state scans were acquired. Temporal dynamics were measured by tracking change in the fMRI signal (i) "within" single voxels over time, termed single-voxel autocorrelation and (ii) "between" different voxels over time, termed intervoxel similarity. TMS reduced AG connectivity with the hippocampal target and induced more rapid shifting of activity in single voxels between successive time points, lowering the single-voxel autocorrelation, within the left anteromedial HPC and posteromedial ERC. Intervoxel similarity was only marginally affected by TMS. Our findings suggest that hippocampal-targeted TMS disrupts the functional properties of the target site along the anterior/posterior axis. Further studies should examine the consequences of altering the temporal dynamics of these medial temporal areas to the successful processing of episodic information under task demand.
