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

backgroundElectroencephalography (EEG) measured during transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help understand the accurate impact of tDCS on the brain, but this has been hindered due to significant inflow of tDCS-induced electrical artifacts.

objectiveIn this study, we introduce a novel tDCS device developed based on current limiter, which can prevent the generation of significant electrical artifacts.

methodsTo verify the feasibility of our developed tDCS device, we performed simultaneous measurement of EEG during tDCS application with five different current intensities (0, 500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 μA). Changes in EEG power spectral density (PSD) and correlation between the PSD of non-stimulation and tDCS condition were investigated to see whether our tDCS device can be used for simultaneous EEG recording without significant inflow of tDCS-induced electrical artifacts. RESUTLS: The mean EEG-PSD differences between non-stimulation and tDCS condition were not significant for all stimulation current intensities. Furthermore, EEG-PSDs estimated during non-stimulation and tDCS application showed statistically high correlation for all comparison cases.

conclusionBased on the results, we could demonstrate the feasibility of our tDCS device based on current limiter for simultaneous EEG measurement, which could potentially provide a way to investigate the impact of tDCS on the brain more accurately.
