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

This comprehensive review aimed to investigate the transferability of transcranial electrical Stimulation (tES) interventions in individuals with specific learning disabilities (SLD) based on the FIELD model, encompassing function, implements, ecology, level, and durability. A systematic search of electronic databases yielded a total of 13 eligible studies, 11 transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), 1 transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), and 1 transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), encompass 286 individuals with SLD, for inclusion. The overall effect size analysis revealed positive transfer effects in all domains of FIELD, indicating the potential effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulations (NIBS) interventions in enhancing various aspects of learning and behavior in individuals with SLD. The subgroup analysis further underscored the positive impact of age, dose, and concurrent intervention on transferability. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights into the transferability of tES interventions and holds promise for improving learning and behavioral outcomes in individuals with SLD.
