Cerebral Microcirculation and Oxygenation Modulation by Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation in Awake and Anesthetized Mice.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a novel non-invasive electrical stimulation technique where a sinusoidal oscillating low-voltage electric current is applied to the brain. TACS is being actively investigated in practice for cognition and behavior modulation and for treating brain disorders. However, the physiological mechanisms of tACS are underinvestigated and poorly understood. Previously, we have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) facilitates cerebral microcirculation and oxygen supply in a mouse brain through nitric oxide-dependent vasodilatation of arterioles. Considering that the effects of tACS and tDCS might be both similar and dissimilar, we tested the effects of tACS on regional cerebral blood flow and oxygen saturation in anesthetized and awake mice using laser speckle contrast imaging and multispectral intrinsic optical signal imaging. The anesthetized mice were imaged under isoflurane anesthesia ∼1.0% in 30% O
