Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Depression in Transgender Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals experience higher rates of mood and anxiety disorders than the general public. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for major depressive disorder, in cisgender patients. With the very recent exception of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), neuromodulation in TGD patients is not addressed in the literature. We described here the efficacy and tolerability of tDCS in a 22-year-old Caucasian female-to-male transgender individual (hereafter referred to as a male) suffering from a severe non-treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. This case report suggests that combined tDCS and antidepressant therapy have the potential to treat depressive disorders in patients of all gender identities.
