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

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with cognitive and emotional-motivational dysregulation and with right prefrontal cortex (rPFC) dysfunction. While repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise in alleviating ADHD symptoms, treatment outcomes are not consistent or robust. This study was designed to initiate the prospective validation process of a recently suggested electrophysiological biomarker for clinical response to high-frequency rTMS (HF-rTMS) in adults with ADHD. For biomarker non-compatible patients, the study explored the safety and efficacy of a novel treatment protocol using cortico-cortical Paired Associative Stimulation (ccPAS) as an alternative stimulation approach. Fifty-eight TMS-naive adults diagnosed with ADHD underwent biomarker screening to characterize the clinical profile of biomarker-compatible and non-compatible participants. Thereafter, a subgroup of biomarker-compatible participants (n = 15) underwent treatments with HF-rTMS (15 sessions over 3 weeks), while non-compatible participants were randomized to one of two ccPAS protocols with different order of hemispheric stimulation (left-to-right: n = 12; right-to-left: n = 12). Biomarker-compatible participants exhibited significantly lower baseline ADHD symptom severity (d
