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
The purpose of our study was to assess the dynamics of local cerebral oxygenation (LCO) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the acute stage of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Fifty-seven mTBI patients (18 women and 39 men, 35 ± 11.7 years old, GCS 13.7 ± 0.7) were treated by tDCS at 3-5 days after head injury. Stimulation parameters were: 1 mA, 9 V, duration-20 min. A cerebral oximeter was used to assess LCO-values in the frontotemporal lobes. Anodal and cathodal LCO values were compared before tDCS and every 2 min until the tDCS end. Significance was preset to p < 0.05. Results: A significant decrease in LCO values on the anodal side was observed at the 8th to 12th minutes of stimulation, compared to the cathodal side (at 8th minute - p = 0.011; at 12th minute - p < 0.00000001) and compared to LCO values before tDCS (p < 0.00001). The LCO on the cathodal side was not significantly different during the whole tDCS. At the end of the procedure, the interhemispheric LCO differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.757). Conclusions: Transcranial DCS in 3-5 days of mTBI leads to a significant decrease in the LCO value on the anodal side between 8 and 12 min and subsequent recovery to baseline values by the end of the procedure.
