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

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing clinical and experimental measures of pain in patients with chronic pain; however, research examining the mechanisms of action for the effects of tDCS has been lacking. The present study investigated the effect of active tDCS on measures of inflammation and stress. Older adults (aged 50-70 years) with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomly assigned to receive daily 20-min sessions of either tDCS (
