Case report: Backward gait training combined with gait-synchronized cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation in progressive supranuclear palsy.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is characterized by recurrent falls caused by postural instability, and a backward gait is considered beneficial for postural instability. Furthermore, a recent approach for rehabilitation combined with gait-oriented synchronized stimulation using non-invasive transcranial patterned stimulation could be promising for balance function. Here, we present a case of PSP with backward gait training combined with gait-synchronized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). A 70-year-old woman with PSP-Richardson's syndrome underwent backward gait training combined with synchronized cerebellar tACS. Initially, she underwent short-term intervention with combined training of backward gait with synchronized cerebellar tACS, asynchronized, or sham stimulation according to the N-of-1 study design. Synchronized tACS training demonstrated a decrease in postural instability, whereas asynchronized or sham stimulation did not. The additional long-term interventions of combined backward gait training with synchronized cerebellar tACS demonstrated further decrease in postural instability with improvements in gait speed, balance function, and fall-related self-efficacy in daily life. The present case describes a novel approach for motor symptoms in a patient with PSP. Backward gait training with synchronized cerebellar tACS may be a promising therapeutic approach.
