Cerebellar TMS Induces Motor Responses Mediating Modulation of Spinal Excitability: A Literature Review.
Review in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Since individuals with cerebellar lesions often exhibit hypotonia, the cerebellum may contribute to the regulation of muscle tone and spinal motoneuron pool excitability. Neurophysiological methods using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the cerebellum have been recently proposed for testing the role of the cerebellum in spinal excitability. Under specific conditions, single-pulse TMS administered to the cerebellar hemisphere or vermis elicits a long-latency motor response in the upper or lower limb muscles and facilitates the H-reflex of the soleus muscle, indicating increased excitability of the spinal motoneuron pool. This literature review examined the methods and mechanisms by which cerebellar TMS modulates spinal excitability.
