Variations in neuromuscular electrical stimulation's ability to increase reach and hand opening during voluntary effort after stroke.

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
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has shown potential as a mechanism to augment functional arm and hand movement after stroke. However, neuroprostheses that combine voluntary effort and FES must account for co-activation patterns (synergies) that limit movement. The goal of this study is to explore the conditions under which voluntary effort and FES can be combined to achieve useful reach and hand opening in different subjects. Subjects performed a reach and hand opening task where different levels of voluntary effort and FES were applied to produce reach and hand opening while measuring the resulting hand opening and distance from a target. Initial results indicate that there are significant variations between participants and how much effort can be exerted while still eliciting effective reach and hand opening.
