Impact of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Reading Skills of Children and Adolescents With Dyslexia.
Article in Child neurology open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05972200 (Probing the Efficacy of V5/MT Stimulation on Reading and Reading-related Measures in Children and Adolescents With Developmental Dyslexia), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
Introduction: Rehabilitation techniques have been used to facilitate reading acquisition in dyslexia. However, many individuals continue to present academic impairment throughout life. New intervention strategies are necessary to further help this population. Objectives: Assess the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation on reading skills in children and adolescents with dyslexia. Methods: The study was conducted with one-group pretest-posttest. Participants received 2 mA transcranial direct current stimulation during 30 minutes for 5 consecutive days. Reading performance was measured by a group of tasks (identification and reading of letters, syllables, words, nonwords, and text). Results: A significant increase in the number of correct answers for nonwords and text tasks was observed after transcranial direct current stimulation ( Conclusion: The transcranial direct current stimulation seems to be a promising tool for the treatment of reading problems in dyslexia. Future studies are necessary to confirm the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and to establish optimal intervention protocol in this population.
