Combining Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with Exercise to Improve Mobility, Stability, and Tremor Management in 25 Individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesParkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors, balance impairments, and mobility limitations. Innovative approaches like combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with exercise show promise in addressing these symptoms. This study investigates the effects of exercise combined with tDCS on mobility and tremor management in PD patients.
methodsTwenty-five individuals aged 60-75 (66.6 ± 7.33), diagnosed with PD (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2-3), were assigned to three groups in a randomized controlled design: exercise with active tDCS (
resultsNo significant differences were detected across the groups for grip strength or force control measures (
conclusionsCombining tDCS with exercise enhances mobility and tremor management in PD patients. These findings support the potential for such interventions to improve functional outcomes and quality of life for individuals with PD.
