Use of transcranial direct current stimulation in poststroke postural imbalance.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Independent gait following stroke is ultimate goal of rehabilitation. Non-invasive neuromodulation achieving it has never been reported. A 74-year-old woman suffered from subarachnoid haemorrhage, followed by hydrocephalus. Both were treated successfully. Even 1 year after the ictus, ambulation was difficult due to truncal instability with lateropulsion mainly to the left side. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was applied to the parietal area (2mA for 20 min/day; anode on left side, cathode on right) for 16 days. The intervention improved her truncal instability and she achieved independent gait. tDCS of the parietal area could be a novel treatment option for gait disturbance due to postural instability following stroke.
