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

Background: This study investigates the efficacy of high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for auditory verbal hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in routine clinical practice. Methods: In this monocentric study, data were collected on patients with schizophrenia treated by rTMS for resistant auditory verbal hallucinations from May 2020 to May 2024. Treatment efficacy was regularly assessed. Results: The data of 65 patients were collected. There was a significant improvement in the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS, Conclusion: These data show the clinical interest and the good tolerance of rTMS in daily practice in patients with schizophrenia suffering from auditory verbal hallucinations.
