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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation on post-stroke patients in terms of cognitive impairment, and to observe its relationship with peripheral blood neurotrophic factor concentration and changes in brain area function. Methods: Sixty patients with cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to group A ( Results: After stimulation, patients in the TMS group had increased MoCA ( Conclusion: TMS improves cognitive function in post-stroke patients, changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor concentrations under the influence of TMS, and also enhances connectivity in the bilateral DLPFC brain area network.
