Function-specific repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for fine motor rehabilitation in chronic stroke: a case report.
Article in Psychoradiology, 2026. 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
Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been widely used in the treatment of post-stroke hemiparesis, its efficacy in restoring fine motor function of the hand remains limited, largely because of a lack of specificity in target selection. This study presents the case of a 61-year-old female chronic stroke patient who showed significant improvement in hand fine motor function following an 8-week intervention using function-specific rTMS guided by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The patient previously experienced multiple lacunar infarctions in the bilateral basal ganglia and centrum semiovale and received the intervention 4 years after the stroke. Following treatment, substantial improvements were observed in fine motor function, with electrophysiological and MRI findings indicating a trend toward restored interhemispheric functional balance. This case highlights a novel therapeutic approach for patients who have shown limited responses to conventional rehabilitation.
