Efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with different frequencies on neuropathic orofacial pain: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of oral & facial pain and headache, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to treat neuropathic orofacial pain (NOP). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rTMS in managing NOP and reducing health risks. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in various databases, including PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase and Clinical Trials.gov. Thirteen relevant articles were identified and assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was utilized to evaluate the evidence rating for the studies. The analysis of the thirteen randomized controlled trials, involving 355 eligible patients, demonstrated moderate evidence supporting the significant effect of rTMS in reducing pain intensity (Mean Difference (MD): -1.01, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) -2.39 to -1.48,
