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

A noninvasive deep brain stimulation via temporal interference (TI) electric fields is a novel neuromodulation technology, but few advances about TI stimulation effectiveness and mechanisms have been reported. One hundred twenty-six mice were selected for the experiment by power analysis. In the present study, TI stimulation was proved to stimulate noninvasively primary motor cortex (M1) of mice, and 7-day TI stimulation with an envelope frequency of 20 Hz (∆f =20 Hz), instead of an envelope frequency of 10 Hz (∆f =10 Hz), could obviously improve mice motor performance. The mechanism of action may be related to enhancing the strength of synaptic connections, improving synaptic transmission efficiency, increasing dendritic spine density, promoting neurotransmitter release, and increasing the expression and activity of synapse-related proteins, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95), and glutamate receptor protein. Furthermore, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway and its upstream BDNF play an important role in the enhancement of locomotor performance in mice by TI stimulation. To our knowledge, it is the first report about TI stimulation promoting multiple motor performances and describing its mechanisms. TI stimulation might serve as a novel promising approach to enhance motor performance and treat dysfunction in deep brain regions.
