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

With expanding knowledge of how neural circuitry is disrupted in substance use disorders (SUD), non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have emerged as potential strategies to directly modulate those neural circuits. There is some evidence supporting the two most common forms of NIBS, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in the treatment of SUD. Yet results of recent studies have been mixed and critical methodological issues must be addressed before strong conclusions can be drawn. This review highlights recent evidence of NIBS for SUD, addressing the impact of stimulation on relevant clinical and cognitive outcomes in substance-using populations. Additionally, we aim to bring a clinical perspective to the opportunities and challenges of implementing neuromodulation in SUD treatment.
