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

For decades, neuromodulation technology has demonstrated tremendous potential in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, challenges such as being less intrusive, more concentrated, using less energy, and better public acceptance, must be considered. Several novel and optimized methods are thus urgently desiderated to overcome these barriers. In specific, temporally interfering (TI) electrical stimulation was pioneered in 2017, which used a low-frequency envelope waveform, generated by the superposition of two high-frequency sinusoidal currents of slightly different frequency, to stimulate specific targets inside the brain. TI electrical stimulation holds the advantages of both spatial targeting and non-invasive character. The ability to activate deep pathogenic targets without surgery is intriguing, and it is expected to be employed to treat some neurological or psychiatric disorders. Recently, efforts have been undertaken to investigate the stimulation qualities and translation application of TI electrical stimulation
