The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on subjective, autonomic and neuropsychological response in the 7.5% CO
Trial report in Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundAnxiety is characterized by hypervigilance, distractibility and selective processing of negative information. There is growing evidence that prefrontal function underlies biases in threat processing and attention control in anxiety. We examined the effect of 20 min of 2 mA dorsolateral prefrontal cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (bipolar-balanced montage) on subjective anxiety, autonomic arousal and threat processing in the 7.5% CO
methodsA between-subjects healthy volunteer double-blind randomized design compared 2 mA tDCS stimulation of the PFC versus sham tDCS on subjective anxiety, autonomic arousal and antisaccade performance during 7.5% CO
resultstDCS did not moderate subjective and autonomic response to CO
conclusionTwenty minutes of active 2 mA tDCS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex may reduce threat processing biases during experimentally induced anxiety and could help target early positive changes in emotion processing.
