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.

Abstract

Studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in healthy individuals and those with neuropsychiatric diseases have rapidly increased since the 1990s, due to the potential of rTMS to modulate the cortical excitability in the brain depending on the stimulation parameters; therefore, the safety considerations for rTMS use are expected to become more important. Wassermann published the first safety guidelines for rTMS from the consensus conference held in 1996, and Rossi and colleague then published the second safety guidelines from the multidisciplinary consensus meeting held in Siena, Italy in 2008, on behalf of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology. More than 10 years after the second guidelines, the updated third safety guidelines were recently published in 2021. The general safety guidelines for conventional rTMS have not substantially changed. Because the most frequently used rTMS protocol is conventional (low- and high-frequency) rTMS in research and clinical settings, we focus on reviewing safety issues when applying conventional rTMS with a focal cortical stimulation coil. The following issues will be covered: 1) possible adverse events induced by rTMS; 2) checklists to screen for any precautions and risks before rTMS; 3) safety considerations for dosing conventional rTMS; and 4) safety considerations for using rTMS in stroke and traumatic brain injury.
