Poststroke rehabilitation using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation during pregnancy: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a form of magnetic stimulation therapy used to treat depression, migraine, and motor function impairment in patients with stroke. As there is little research on the effects of rTMS in pregnant women, it is not widely used in these patients. This case report aimed to demonstrate the safety of rTMS in pregnant patients. CASE SUMMARY: After much consideration, we applied rTMS to treat recent stroke and hemiplegia in a 34-year-old pregnant woman. The patient received 45 sessions of low-frequency treatment over the course of 10 wk. We closely monitored the mother and fetus for potential side effects; the results showed significant improvement in the patient's motor function, with no harmful effects on the mother or fetus during pregnancy or after delivery. The patient's fine motor and walking functions improved after treatment. This case is the first instance of a stroke patient treated with rTMS during pregnancy.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that rTMS could be used to improve motor function recovery in stroke patients during pregnancy.
