Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on electroencephalogram and memory function in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a high-risk precursor to Alzheimer's disease characterized by declining memory or other progressive cognitive functions without compromising daily living abilities.
aimTo investigate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with MCI.
methodsThis retrospective analysis involved 180 patients with MCI who were admitted to The First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2021 to June 2023. Participants were allocated into the research (
resultsPre-treatment MQ scores, long-term and short-term memory, as well as immediate memory scores, demonstrated no notable differences between the groups. Post-treatment, the research group exhibited significant increases in MQ scores, long-term memory, and short-term memory compared to baseline (
conclusionPatients with MCI receiving rTMS therapy demonstrated improved memory and cognitive functions and EEG grading and exhibited high safety with fewer adverse reactions.
