Do Progressive Intensities of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with and Without 40 Hz Binaural Beats Change Pre-Frontal Cortex Hemodynamics? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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 direct current stimulation (tDCS) is often reported to have positive effects on brain hemodynamics as well as cognitive performance. Binaural beats (BBs) have also shown the potential to improve cognitive performance. However, we could not find any studies assessing prefrontal hemodynamics using a combination of these techniques or assessing the effects on hemodynamic response at different intensity levels of tDCS (two and three mA). This study aimed to compare the immediate hemodynamic responses to tDCS at different intensities (two and three mA) with and without 40 Hz BBs. Sixty-eight healthy young individuals of both sexes were split into four groups: the tDCS 2 mA group; tDCS 3 mA group; tDCS 2 mA + BB group; and tDCS 3 mA + BB group. All groups received 20 min tDCS (F3-Fp2) alone or combined with BBs. The hemodynamic effect was assessed using a functional near-infrared intracranial spectroscope (fNIRS) positioned on the left supraorbital region (Fp1). The mean values of rates of oxygen saturation (SatO
