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

The use of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in treating major depressive disorder (MDD) is increasingly being explored in precision medicine. However, there's a notable lack of understanding of the underlying neurobiological effects, which limits our ability to correlate specific imaging features with treatment efficacy. As one possible neurobiological mechanism, clinical research has already shown that in MDD, lower norepinephrine release in the locus coeruleus (LC) triggers depressive symptoms, and pharmacological approaches that block norepinephrine reuptake boost its levels, easing depression. Surprisingly, the LC has not received a more pronounced focus in contemporary rTMS research. This study investigates the role of the LC in MDD and its response to high-frequency (HF)-rTMS using
