Multisession Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Context Discrimination in Mice.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising noninvasive neuromodulatory treatment option for multiple neurologic and psychiatric disorders, but its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) continues throughout life and is crucial for preserving several aspects of hippocampal-dependent cognitive functions. Nevertheless, the contribution of AHN in the neuromodulatory effects of tDCS remains unexplored. Here, we sought to investigate whether multisession anodal tDCS may modulate AHN and its associated cognitive functions. Multisession anodal tDCS were applied on the skull over the hippocampus of adult male mice for 20 min at 0.25 mA once daily for 10 d totally. We found that multisession anodal tDCS enhances AHN by increasing the proliferation, differentiation and survival of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). In addition, tDCS treatment increased cell cycle reentry and reduced cell cycle exit of NSPCs. The tDCS-treated mice exhibited a reduced GABAergic inhibitory tone in the dentate gyrus compared with sham-treated mice. The effect of tDCS on the proliferation of NSPCs was blocked by pharmacological restoration of GABA
