The Role of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Treating Alcohol Use Disorder: Neural Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Future Directions.
Review in Alpha psychiatry, 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
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a global health challenge, affecting 10-15% of the population, with significant social, health, and economic consequences. Although pharmacotherapies such as disulfiram, naltrexone, and acamprosate are available, their effectiveness is limited and patient adherence is often poor. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that targets neural circuits implicated in addiction. Emerging evidence suggests that rTMS may reduce alcohol craving and consumption, although results have been mixed. This review examines the neural mechanisms by which rTMS may influence AUD, summarizes current clinical evidence of its efficacy, and discusses future directions.
