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

Action observation and execution, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) enhance motor performance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of concurrent tDCS over the premotor cortex (PMC) and PNS during action observation on motor cortex excitability and motor performance, and its underlying mechanisms. One hundred and twenty-eight healthy adults were randomly assigned to tDCS + PNS combined with presentation of a landscape picture (tDCS + PNS
