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

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with dual-task training (DTT) has shown potential in promoting neurorehabilitation. However, the transcriptomic mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of dual-target tDCS remain unexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of tDCS + DTT on cognitive and motor functions and preliminarily explore its molecular basis through transcriptomic analysis. Methods: Fifty two chronic stroke patients were randomized to receive dual-target tDCS (anodal electrodes over affected primary motor cortex M1 and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex DLPFC) combined with DTT ( Results: Significant interactions were observed for VCAT ( Conclusion: Dual-target tDCS combined with DTT promotes functional recovery in stroke patients through transcriptomic reprogramming of inflammatory and neuroplastic pathways, offering a novel strategy for multi-modal neurorehabilitation.
