The Philadelphia Theta Burst Project: A novel fMRI-guided electric field modeling dataset with reliability metrics.
Article in Imaging neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Recent neuromodulation studies suggest that theta burst stimulation (TBS) applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) can influence neural circuits involved in cognitive control and emotion-related processing, with relevance for psychiatric disorders. However, large-scale datasets characterizing variability, reliability, and multimodal neural responses to TBS remain limited. To address this gap, we established the Philadelphia Theta Burst Project, a dataset of 100 healthy participants who completed 4 fMRI sessions following cumulatively increasing doses of intermittent or continuous TBS, with participants randomized to one protocol or the other. Each session includes multiband, multi-echo resting-state (16 minutes) and task-based fMRI (16 minutes) during a Sternberg working memory paradigm. TMS targeting was guided by task-evoked activation in the left dlPFC. Structural T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and diffusion-weighted imaging were also acquired. Here, we describe the dataset design, acquisition protocol, and data characteristics, and report initial measures of data quality and reliability. The completed dataset can be accessed at https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds008893, providing an open resource for future investigations of TBS mechanisms and individualized neuromodulation strategies.
