Current landscape of newer non-invasive brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders across South Asia.
Review in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2025. 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
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been an increasingly used therapeutic modality for neuropsychiatric disorders in recent decades. This review attempts to discuss the extent of use (availability of facility, indications of use, amount of research) of various newer NIBS techniques in the management of psychiatric disorders in the South Asian countries till date (i.e., 2025). In South Asia, particularly in India, there has been a notable rise in the use of NIBS treatment methods. Among these, the most prominent techniques are Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), both of which demonstrate encouraging results with minimal side effects. Over the past decades, research into non-invasive neuromodulation has expanded significantly, although it remains predominantly centered in India. This growing body of evidence underscores the potential of these techniques to transform the treatment landscape for psychiatric conditions, offering a hope for patients seeking alternatives to conventional therapies. As interest in neuromodulation continues to grow, the future seems promising for the integration of these advanced modalities into clinical practice.
