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

Cerebellar ataxia results in debilitating impairments in balance, gait, and cognition, with no established effective treatments. Kilohertz transcranial magnetic perturbation (kTMP) is a novel subthreshold non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) method that delivers strong, subthreshold electric fields to the cerebellar cortex without discomfort. We present the case of a 78-year-old patient with cerebellar ataxia following hemorrhagic stroke who underwent amplitude-modulated kTMP (AM-kTMP) targeted to vermal and paravermal cerebellar regions. The design involved an open-label phase followed by a fixed-sequence sham-active comparison. Active AM-kTMP, delivered as part of a NIBS-training protocol, produced improvements on clinical scales of ataxia alongside enhanced gait stability, with no device-related adverse reactions, representing a promising NIBS intervention for cerebellar disorders.
