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) is increasingly applied in basic neuroscience while its field of usage for diagnosing and treating various neurological diseases broadens steadily. A TMS device generates a current pulse in the reach of several thousand ampére to produce a magnetic pulse which induces an electric field around neurons. This electric field, if high enough to depolarize the neuron membrane, generates an action potential at the neuron which travels down the neurons connected to it. The PLUSPULS TMS generates this magnetic pulse by pre-charging a pulse capacitor
