Resting state networks in human cervical spinal cord observed with fMRI.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
It has been reported that spontaneous fluctuations of blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals can be detected in human brain and constitute resting state networks. It has not been reported whether resting state networks also exist in human spinal cord. In the present study, we investigate spontaneous BOLD signal changes in human cervical spinal cord during resting state. fMRI data were analyzed with independent component analysis and SPM software package. Acceptable reproducibility of spatial maps of BOLD signal changes was found across sessions, with the highest correlation values ranging from 0.18 to 0.44. The dominant frequency of signal changes from independent components with the highest correlation values was approximately the frequency range of the respiratory circle. Activities of spinal motor neurons innervating the scalenes were considered as a major factor in the production of BOLD signal fluctuations were observed in this study. Our findings suggest that BOLD fMRI can be applied to study the features of low-frequency rhythmic activities and corresponding mechanisms in the spinal cord during resting state.
