Corticospinal Excitability After Continuous and Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation Applied on the Lateral Cerebellum: A Study on Healthy Individuals.

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
Introduction: To investigate the effects of continuous (cTBS) and intermittent (iTBS) theta burst stimulation applied over the lateral cerebellum on corticospinal excitability in healthy individuals. Methods: Twenty right-handed healthy male participants underwent three TBS sessions (cTBS, iTBS, sham) in a randomized crossover design. Motor evoked potentials (MEPs), resting and active motor threshold (RMT and AMT, respectively), and cortical silent period (CSP) were assessed before and after each session using single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left primary motor cortex. Transcranial magnetic stimulation was delivered to the right cerebellar hemisphere at 80% of active motor threshold. Results: A significant reduction in MEP amplitude was observed following iTBS (p=0.028), while no significant changes occurred after cTBS or sham stimulation. No significant effects were found in RMT or CSP across any of the protocols. All sessions were well tolerated and considered safe. Mild and transient side effects, such as neck discomfort or headache, were reported in five participants. Conclusion: Intermittent cerebellar TBS was associated with reduced MEP amplitude, suggesting decreased corticospinal excitability, whereas cTBS and sham stimulation did not produce significant effects. Cerebellar TBS was safe and well tolerated in all participants. These findings suggest that cerebellar iTBS may exert modulatory effects on motor cortical excitability and may contribute to a better understanding of cerebellar stimulation effects in healthy individuals.
