Modulation of thalamic network connectivity using transcranial direct current stimulation based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to improve hypoxia-induced cognitive impairments.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hypoxic conditions at high altitudes severely affect cognitive functions such as vigilance, attention, and memory and reduce cognitive ability. Hence, there is a critical need to investigate methods and associated mechanisms for improving the cognitive ability of workers at high altitudes. This study aimed to use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modulate thalamic network functional connectivity to enhance cognitive ability. We recruited 20 healthy participants that underwent hypoxia exposure in a hypoxic chamber at atmospheric pressure to simulate a hypoxic environment at 4,000 m. Participants received both sham and real stimulation. tDCS significantly improved the participants' emotional status, including depression, fatigue, and energy level. These effects were sustained for more than 6 h (
