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

Stroke often causes persistent upper limb and hand motor dysfunction due to disrupted neural reorganization. To address this, we developed the Magnetic NeuroRing: a portable brain-computer interface integrating real-time electroencephalogram (EEG) with closed-loop continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) for adaptive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A multi-channel EEG array over motor cortical regions (FC3, FC4, CP3, CP4, FT7, FT8, TP7, TP8) detects event-related desynchronization (ERD), indicating motor intent. When ERD/ERS falls below a threshold (ERD/ERS < 0 over five consecutive activations), the system delivers inhibitory cTBS to hyperactive regions, aiming to rebalance stroke-impaired interhemispheric dynamics. The lightweight, patient-specific headgear uses magnetic levitation for precise targeting and EEG-TMS synchronization. In healthy subjects, adaptive cTBS significantly modulated resting-state and task-related neural metrics, aligning with prior large-device findings and demonstrating feasibility for inducing neuroplastic changes. By bridging real-time diagnostics with targeted neuromodulation, the Magnetic NeuroRing enables dynamic, data-driven rehabilitation across clinical and home settings.
