Safety of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Neurorehabilitation.
Review in Brain & NeuroRehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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) has considerable potential as a useful method in the field of neurorehabilitation. However, the safety of tDCS for the human is primarily based on theoretical evidence related to electricity, and the safety information of applying tDCS to the human is only available from researcher's reporting. Based on tDCS studies with human and animal subjects and simulation-based studies of the safety of current stimulation in the past 20 years, this review investigated the safety of tDCS application to the human body. No severe complications have been reported in either adults or children for tDCS at an intensity of 4 mA or less, within a period of 60 minutes per day, using commonly applied 25 or 35 cm
