ExoTMS transcranial magnetic stimulation for the reduction of binge eating symptoms.
Article in PCN reports : psychiatry and clinical neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Aim: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an emerging treatment for binge eating (BE). TMS uses noninvasive magnetic pulses to stimulate the prefrontal cortex, which plays a role in decision-making and self-regulation. Early research suggests that TMS can reduce BE episodes by modulating brain activity linked to cravings and compulsive behavior. This article aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel TMS device with ExoTMS™ Technology for alleviating BE symptoms. Methods: Subjects underwent six TMS sessions and a 1-month follow-up. The Binge Eating Scale (BES) was administered at baseline, posttreatment, and follow-up to assess symptom severity. Weight was recorded at the same intervals. Therapy comfort was evaluated after the sixth session. The Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire was completed posttreatment and at follow-up. Adverse events and side effects were monitored throughout the study. Data from two identically designed studies were pooled for analysis. Results: A total of 38 subjects were analyzed. BES scores significantly decreased posttreatment (-37.8%, Conclusion: TMS shows promise as a safe and effective intervention for reducing BE symptoms, supported by both objective clinical measures and subjective patient-reported outcomes.
