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

backgroundIndividuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can exhibit neurocognitive deficits, psychosocial alterations, and changes in sleep regulation. In this sense, non-invasive techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to assess and treat people with neurocognitive disorders. Studies using neuromodulation to estimate the timing and regulation of sleep remain scarce, revealing a gap in its understanding and treatment.

aimTo analyze whether the application of 10 Hz TMS modifies time estimation and sleep quality in people with ADHD for characteristics of inattention and hyperactivity. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwelve adult male participants with high scores on the assessment of ADHD scale underwent a 10 Hz TMS protocol and a visual stimulus time estimation task. Daily rhythmicity was assessed by actigraphy before and after the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) intervention. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index and the Morning and Evening Questionnaire.

resultsThe results showed that rTMS modulated the interpretation of the 9 s long interval (

conclusionsThe findings demonstrate that the application of 10 Hz TMS enhances performance in long intervals during the time estimation task for individuals with ADHD, but does not affect sleep quality.
