Low-frequency H-reflex depression in trained human soleus after spinal cord injury.
Article in Neuroscience letters, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
After spinal cord injury (SCI), widespread reorganization occurs within spinal reflex systems. Regular muscle activity may influence reorganization of spinal circuitry after SCI. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of long-term soleus training on H-reflex depression in humans after SCI. Seven subjects with acute (<7 weeks) SCI (AC group) underwent testing of H-reflex depression at several frequencies of repetitive stimulation. Eight subjects (including 3 from AC) stimulated one soleus muscle daily, leaving the other leg as an untrained within-subject control. Trained limb H-reflexes were assessed during year 1 (TR1) and year 2 (TR2) of training. Untrained limbs were tested during year 2 (UN). H-reflex amplitude was lower at 1, 2 and 5 Hz than at 0.1 or 0.2 Hz (p<0.05). The pattern of depression differed between AC and UN (p<0.05), but not between TR2 and UN (p>0.05) despite significant adaptations in torque and fatigue resistance (p<0.05). Three subjects who began training very early after SCI retained H-reflex post activation depression, suggesting that early intervention of daily muscular activity may be important.
