Polarity-dependent cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation modulates online functions of the alerting attention network.
Trial report in Neurosciences (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo investigate the modulatory effect of anodal, cathodal and sham cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) on the efficiency of the 3 attention networks namely alerting network, orienting network, and the network of executive control.
methodsA sham-controlled, single-blind study. Experiments were performed at the neuroscience lab of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, between the months of January-July of 2018. Sixty-three healthy subjects were assessed for eligibility and a total of 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) met the inclusion criteria. Subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups that received a single 20-minute session of 2 mA of anodal, cathodal or sham ctDCS while performing tasks. The tasks corresponded to the 3 attention networks-vigilance task assessed the alerting network, Posner's attention task assessed the orienting network and Flanker task assessed the network of executive control. The Edinburgh handedness inventory-short form determined the subjects' handedness.
resultsAnalysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a highly significant polarity-independent group*task effect (
conclusionConclusion: Findings demonstrate that ctDCS modulates alerting attention and highlights a more profound effect of cerebellar modulation in attention tasks with higher cognitive load.
