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

Frontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and parietal tDCS are effective for treating disorders of consciousness (DoC); however, the relative efficacies of these techniques have yet to be determined. This paper compares the neuromodulation effects of frontal and parietal tDCS on DoC. Twenty patients with DoC were recruited and randomly assigned to two groups. One group received single-session frontal tDCS and single-session sham tDCS. The other group received single-session parietal tDCS and single-session sham tDCS. Before and after every tDCS session, we recorded coma recovery scale-revised (CRS-R) values and an electroencephalogram. CRS-R was also used to evaluate the state of consciousness at 9-12-month follow-up. Both single-session frontal and parietal tDCS caused significant changes in the genuine permutation cross-mutual information (G_PCMI) of local frontal and across brain regions (
