Timing-specific effects of single-session M1 anodal tDCS on motor sequence retention in healthy older adults.
Article in Neuroimage. Reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may assist in counteracting age-related decline in cognitive and motor functions. The current study investigated the potential impact of anodal tDCS, and the timing of its application, in mitigating age-related deficits in motor sequence learning. Forty-eight healthy older adults received, over the primary motor cortex (M1), tDCS - anodal and sham at least 1 week apart - before, during or after an explicit sequence-learning task with electrophysiological measures of corticospinal excitability (CSE) and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) also obtained. Bayesian analyses revealed no generalised benefit of anodal tDCS to motor acquisition and immediate retention. Furthermore, there was not enough evidence to support timing-specific stimulation differences on performance during acquisition and immediate retention. However, performance at delayed retention - measured 24 h after acquisition - was
