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

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) modulates cortical plasticity in a frequency-dependent manner, resulting in predictable and lasting augmentation or attenuation of corticospinal excitability. These rTMS effects on synaptic plasticity are partly mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and share features with long-term depression (LTD) or long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synaptic transmission. In this study, we investigated whether SGE 301 (an NMDAR positive allosteric modulator) alters rTMS-mediated motor cortical plasticity in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. We tested two modalities: 1 Hz for the low-frequency rTMS (lf-rTMS) and 10 Hz for the high-frequency rTMS (hf-rTMS) to induce LTD-like and LTP-like plasticity, respectively. We compared corticospinal excitability before and after rTMS by measuring peak-to-peak motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes across a range of stimulator outputs. In the lf-rTMS experiment, the magnitude of the reduction of MEP amplitude was similar between the vehicle and SGE-301 groups. In the hf-rTMS experiment, however, the LTP-like plasticity observed in the vehicle group was completely reversed by SGE-301. In conclusion, SGE-301 engages cortical plasticity mechanisms
