Implications of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Geriatric Patients With Pseudodementia.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This report discusses the case of a female in her 80s with treatment-resistant depression and increasing cognitive decline in recent years. The patient had performed normally on mini-mental status exams (MMSE), had unremarkable CT scans, and been diagnosed with pseudodementia. She had been referred to psychiatry and received multiple courses of different antidepressants and mood-stabilizing medications. However, due to a lack of benefits over time and increasing concern about compliance, she had been referred to a clinic providing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which had only recently become available in the region. Following a course of 36 treatments over three months, the patient's cognitive decline resolved, depression symptoms improved, and her family noted that she was back to her normal self.
