Effect of triangular electrode schemes on Broca's cortical stimulation: conventional and HD-tDCS study.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
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) is a therapeutic and complementary treatment in several cognitive diseases, psychiatric disorders, and disabilities that occur due to an accident or stroke. In the current research, we aimed to boost some parts of the stimulation structure and proposed a new electrode scheme in the mentioned approach. After segmenting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and using a tissue correction routine algorithm, we attempted to create an appropriate head model and electrode placement according to electric stimulation, whereby we completed tDCS processing. The considered electrodes are divided into two general categories. All the considered electrodes consist of rectangular, circular, triangular, and empty triangular patches with specific dimensions. We investigated common electrode schemes and introduced better electrode schemes for more effective cortical stimulation. We observed that the triangular electrodes in the conventional and anodal arrangement in the triangular 4 × 1 HD-tDCS create more electric field than others. Also, we calculated the current density and attempted to substantially improve it. Therefore, we recommended the empty triangular schemes. We investigated the designed model thoroughly and observed that it increased the current density not only in the conventional but also in the HD-tDCS. Graphical abstract.
