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.

Abstract

Cerebellum plays a role in the regulation of cognitive processes. Cerebellar alterations could explain cognitive impairments in schizophrenia. We describe the case of a 50 years old patient with schizophrenia whom underwent cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). In order to study the effect of cerebellar stimulation on cognitive functions, the patient underwent a neuropsychological assessment and an eyeblink conditioning (EBC) protocol. Although the effect of brain stimulation cannot be only assessed in a single-case study, our results suggest that cerebellar stimulation may have an effect on a broad range of cognitive functions typically impaired in patients with schizophrenia, including verbal episodic, short term, and working memory. In addition to neuropsychological tests, we evaluated the cerebellar function by performing EBC before and after tDCS. Our data suggest that tDCS can improve EBC. Further clinical trials are required for better understanding of how cerebellar stimulation can modulate cognitive processes in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls.
