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

Both hand function [as seen through the coordination between grip force (GF) and load force (LF)] and the ability to produce a submaximal force quickly (i.e., neuromuscular quickness) are two important qualities of motor function that could be seriously affected by the presence of neurological diseases. Therefore, their quantitative assessment is very important in clinical settings. Within this study, we aimed to develop, standardize, and measure the within-session reliability of a clinically meaningful test that assesses both hand function and neuromuscular quickness simultaneously. Thirteen healthy young adults produced around 90 rapid isometric LF pulses to varying submaximal magnitudes by either pulling down or pulling up on an externally fixed GF- and LF-measuring device. Results revealed high indices of force coordination (i.e., GF scaling as assessed by GF/LF and GF coupling as assessed by maximum cross-correlation between GF and LF) in both force directions, while GF coupling was higher in downward than in upward direction (p < 0.001). Regarding the indices of neuromuscular quickness (i.e., the regression parameters obtained from the relationship between peak force and it's rate of development and half-relaxation time), results, in general, revealed a higher slope (named as rate of force development scaling factor; p < 0.01), similar R
