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

Physical therapy has the evidence-based scientific knowledge to address a wide range of physical and psychological problems of addiction. Neuromodulation techniques, including transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) methods like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), as well as near-infrared light therapy, are becoming increasingly important in the treatment of addiction. Here, the efficacy of these different neuromodulation techniques in addiction, such as tDCS, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and deep brain stimulation, is critically evaluated. Other physical therapy methods, including biofeedback, physical activity, and acupuncture, are also presented.
