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

This study focused on the use of Non-Invasive Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (NITACS) to induce and map phosphenes (spark-like percepts in the visual field) in healthy individuals. The study found optimal stimulation parameters to induce reliable phosphenes without skin irritation or pain. The results suggest NITACS can be used as a tool to investigate the relationship between facial stimulation location and phosphene localization within the field of vision (FOV) and raise questions about the origin of phosphenes generated through NITACS. The outcomes of this study could serve as a source of inspiration for creating non-invasive visual aids in the future.
