Use of non-invasive neurostimulation for rehabilitation in functional movement disorders.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Functional movement disorders (FMD) are a subtype of functional neurological disorders which involve abnormal movements and include multiple phenomenologies. There is a growing interest in the mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders. Most of the current therapeutic approaches rely on psychotherapy and physiotherapy conducted by a multidisciplinary team. Although this approach has shown good results in some cases, FMD cause a great burden on the health system and other treatment strategies are urgently needed. In this review, we summarize past studies that have applied non-invasive neurostimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral nerve stimulation as a treatment for FMD. There is an increasing number of studies related to TMS including randomized controlled trials; however, the protocols amongst studies are not standardized. There is only preliminary evidence for the efficacy of non-invasive neuromodulation in reducing FMD symptoms, and further studies are needed. There is insufficient evidence to allow implementation of these techniques in clinical practice.
