TMS-EEG signatures of the effects of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) on cortical excitability.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS), a strong and small magnet placed over the head can modulate cortical functions below the magnet as well as those in the region remote from the magnet. We studied the neuromodulation induced by tSMS using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) to clarify the neurophysiological underpinnings of tSMS. tSMS or sham stimulation was applied over the left primary motor cortex (M1) for 20 min in 15 healthy subjects. Single pulse TMS was delivered over the left M1 before and after the intervention, while recording EEG. The amplitude around the P30 of the TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) in the left primary sensorimotor area (SM1) significantly decreased after the real tSMS, and that around the N60 of the TEPs in the right SM1 significantly increased after the real tSMS. In addition, the alpha power of the TMS-induced oscillatory responses (IORs) in the left and right SM1 significantly decreased after the real tSMS. TMS-EEG is a powerful tool for studying local and global cortical reactivity to external stimuli at high temporal resolution. tSMS altered TEPs and IORs both at the stimulated cortex and at the contralateral cortex. These findings would be related to the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the neuromodulation induced by tSMS.
