Non-invasive Brain Stimulation in Post-stroke Dysphagia Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review of Meta-analyses in 2022.
Review in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to update the current knowledge on non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) effects, such as repetitive transcranial brain stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation, in patients with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD). Methods: We summarized the basic principles and therapeutic strategies of NIBS. We then reviewed nine meta-analyses from 2022 that investigated the efficacy of NIBS in PSD rehabilitation. Results: Although dysphagia is a common and devastating sequela of stroke, the efficacy of conventional swallowing therapies remains controversial. NIBS techniques have been proposed as promising approaches for managing PSD via neuromodulation. Recent meta-analyses have shown that NIBS techniques are beneficial for the recovery of patients with PSD. Conclusions: NIBS has the potential to become a novel alternative treatment for PSD rehabilitation.
