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

Cognitive disorders such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder severely compromise brain function and neuronal activity. Treatments to restore cognitive abilities can have severe side effects due to their intense and excitatory nature, in addition to the fact that they are expensive and invasive. Low-field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) is a novel non-invasive proposed treatment for cognitive disorders. It repairs issues in the brain by altering deep cortical areas with treatments of low-intensity magnetic stimulation. This paper aims to summarize the current literature on the effects and results of LFMS in cognitive disorders. We developed a search strategy to identify relevant studies utilizing LFMS and systematically searched eight scientific databases. Our review suggests that LFMS could be a viable and effective treatment for multiple cognitive disorders, especially major depressive disorder. Additionally, longer, more frequent, and more personalized LFMS treatments tend to be more efficacious.
