Neurostimulation for the treatment of functional neurological disorder: A systematic review.
Review in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
Transcranial Static Field Stimulation (tSMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Treatment of Neurological Symptoms
Impact of Theta Burst Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on the Patient's Self-reported Improvement in Their Motor Functional Neurological Disorder

Abstract
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), also known as conversion disorder, is characterized by neurological symptoms that are incompatible with any known structural disorder and best explained by a biopsychosocial model. Evidence-based treatments for FND are limited, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and physiotherapy being the most effective interventions [1]. In recent years, functional neuroimaging studies have provided robust evidence of alterations in activity and connectivity in multiple brain networks in FND. This body of evidence suggests that neurocircuitry-based interventions, such as non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS), may also represent an effective therapeutic option for patients with FND. In this systematic review, we outline the current state of knowledge of NIBS in FND, and discuss limitations and future directions that may help establish the efficacy of NIBS as a therapeutic option for FND.
