Efficacy and safety of peripheral magnetic stimulation for the treatment of intractable hiccups after stroke: a prospective, blinded, parallel randomized controlled clinical trial.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. 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
Aims: Preclinical studies indicate that magnetic stimulation may be an efficacious treatment for intractable hiccups in post-stroke patients. This study aimed to investigate repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) potential efficacy and safety for treating intractable hiccups. Methods: This randomized controlled trial randomly assigned 60 patients with stroke with intractable hiccups to receive rPMS ( Results: All 60 enrolled male patients completed the study. The proportion of patients achieving complete cure was significantly higher in the magnetic stimulation group than in the metoclopramide group (23/30 vs. 15/30; Conclusion: Magnetic stimulation may be superior to metoclopramide in achieving complete cure of intractable hiccups after stroke, though both treatments show high overall response rates.
