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

This study aimed to explore the role of the cerebellum on the somatosensory temporal discrimination (STD) process. Twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Each participant was included in three different transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sessions as anodal, cathodal, and sham sessions in randomised order. Anodal and cathodal cerebellar tDCS (cTDCS) were given for 20 min at an intensity of 2 mA. The results of the study indicate no effect of cTDCS on STD. Although the study results show that cTDCS does not affect STD, because of the restricted sample size of the study, it is useful and necessary to investigate this relationship more in depth in a larger healthy subject population using different cTDCS methodologies.
