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

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has become established as an effective therapeutic approach, employed to modulate cortical excitability in various conditions. Nonetheless, few studies have assessed the use of tDCS in improving respiratory performance both in healthy and in subjects with respiratory disfunction. This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial evaluated the outcomes of lung function, strength of inspiratory muscles, general strength after intervention with bilateral tDCS both in young and elderly female subjects. Eighty subjects were randomized into four groups divided by age (40 young and 40 elderly) and intervention vs. placebo. After a basal (day 1) evaluation all subjects performed two evaluation/intervention rounds with 48 to 72 h interval. Lung function evaluated with spirometry evaluation with Forced vital capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 S (FEV
