The government has unveiled its Schools White Paper which aims to support children in the SEND system.

It aims to address the longstanding challenges with the SEND system, but raises questions about how new levels of support will operate in practice.

Could we improve the reproducibility of TMS studies by improving how we report our methods?

Let’s try that.

17 of us worked on developing and validating the TMS-RAT, a tool to guide reporting and evaluate the completeness of reporting in TMS studies.

Check out the preprint👇🏻 All feedback welcome!

Drop in now to explore how the mind works with fun, hands-on cognitive psychology activities at the Science Bazaar 🎈🧠✨.

tms-rat.org

We present 2 versions of TMS-RAT:

Version 1.0 provides *recommendations* for TMS reporting. There are 80 items (72 fully tested), but some did not reach high inter-rater reliability. v1.0 is for further development.

Version 1.1 is fully-tested & all 50 items have high inter-rater reliability ⚡🐀.

Development of the TMS-RAT went through 4 iterations; each Version (v0.1, v0.2, v0.3, v1.0) was modified based on inter-rater reliability, usability & free-text feedback from raters & 12 international TMS experts.

This development has - & I can't stress this enough - a LOT of work over 18 months.

From 32 systematic reviews rating a total of 681 original research articles, the proportions of Items reported (according to the Chipchase et al. 2012 checklist) ranges from very low (~0.11%) to very high (0.92). This graph shows all 30 Checklist items, with the proportion reported (red) and controlled (blue) with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals for each item. Reporting levels are - on average - pretty low (~50% of items). While this has increased over time, publication of the previous checklist did not appear to make much impact (graphs and stats in the preprint).

We started with the foundational paper in this field: Chipchase et al. 2012

Their 30-item checklist has been used by at least 681 studies (graph 👇)

We took all those items, combined them with ~50 others, then tested how 17 independent raters used them on 333 #TMS papers 📝

Brain stimulation methods are complex; reproducibility depends on knowing what was done.
