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

There is an increasing interest in the treatment of mental disorders such as depression using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Treatment guidelines for the application of rTMS are available, but they focus primarily on scientific evidence for efficacy and tolerability. Other aspects that are relevant for the training of practitioners, such as implementation in the national health system as well as organizational, formal, and practical aspects, are not covered in detail in these guidelines. Here, we present an overview of German rTMS courses and present training materials for the hands-on workshop of the German Society for Brain Stimulation in Psychiatry [Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hirnstimulation in der Psychiatrie (DGHP) e.V.] in German and English as an example. Publishing national standard operating procedures is important in order to harmonize rTMS practice all over the world.
