1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The non-invasive current stimulation protocol differs significantly between the brain and spinal cord, such that when comparing the two, there is a clear predominance of protocols using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the brain and of protocols using pulsed stimulation for the spinal cord (psSC). These protocols differ in their effects on the central nervous system and in such important parameters as stimulation intensity. In most cases, tDCS has a fixed amplitude for all subjects/patients, while psSC is usually chosen on a case-by-case basis, according to the thresholds of muscle responses. In our opinion, it is possible to use the experience of identifying thresholds during psSC to adjust the dose of the direct current for transcranial and transspinal electrical stimulation, an approach that may provide more homogeneous tDCS data.
