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

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) holds significant potential for improving motor function in stroke patients, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, 20 Hz tACS was applied to 15 stroke patients, and their motor imagery (MI) signals were collected before and after stimulation, which were for assessment by combining with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE). Additionally, 11 subjects were recruited as a healthy control group. The study demonstrated that FMA-UE scores of stroke patients significantly increased after tACS intervention. The duration of EEG microstate C and F decreased significantly, while microstate D (coverage, duration, and occurrence probability) increased markedly, and microstate E decreased. The transition probabilities of C→D and D→B were positively correlated with FMA-UE scores. Based on these findings, this study concludes that 20 Hz tACS can enhance neuroplasticity and motor function in patients, and the transition probabilities (C→D/D→B) may serve as potential indicators for assessing motor function, providing experimental evidence for the clinical application of tACS and the development of rehabilitation brain-computer interfaces.
