A systematic review of the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in treating dysarthria in patients with Parkinson's disease.

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
Objective: To analyze the literature on the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating dysarthria in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and provide a reference for targeted clinical treatment of dysarthria in PD patients. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in English and Chinese databases, including Embase, Cochrane, Medline, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and VIP Database, for relevant literature on rTMS treatment for dysarthria in PD patients. The search timeframe was from the inception of each database to October 2023. Literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers extracted information on study subjects, age, intervention methods, intervention duration, intervention frequency, evaluation indicators, and intervention results from the included literature. The modified Jadad scale was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. Results: A total of seven studies were included, mainly focusing on the frequency, duration, and stimulation site of rTMS for dysarthria in PD patients. Six studies indicated that rTMS treatment improved dysarthria in PD patients. Conclusion: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has a positive effect on improving dysarthria in PD patients, but further research is needed to determine its efficacy.
