Safety and feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation stratified by corticospinal organization in children with hemiparesis.
Trial report in European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Children with hemiparesis (CWH) due to stroke early in life face lifelong impairments in motor function. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be a safe and feasible adjuvant therapy to augment rehabilitation. Given the variability in outcomes following tDCS, tailored protocols of tDCS are required. We evaluated the safety, feasibility, and preliminary effects of a single session of targeted anodal tDCS based on individual corticospinal tract organization on corticospinal excitability. Fourteen CWH (age = 13.8 ± 3.63) were stratified into two corticospinal organization subgroups based on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-confirmed motor evoked potentials (MEP): ipsilesional MEP presence (MEP
