Time to recovery of sciatic function index after induced tibialis anterior strain in rats.
Article in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMuscle strain is a common injury with a high recurrence rate. Due to the heterogeneity of strain injuries, experimental animals provide controlled and reproducible models to investigate such injuries. Sciatic Function Index (SFI) is a clinically feasible method to assess hind limb recovery in rodents after induced injuries.
objectivesTo investigate time to recovery of SFI after induced-strain in tibialis anterior (TA) muscle in rats.
methodsSixteen adult male Wister rats were randomly and equally divided to a normal control group that received no intervention, and TA induced muscle strain group. Muscle strain was induced using an external weight that corresponded to 150% of the animal body weight. SFI was tested only once in the control group. For the muscle strain group, SFI was tested on the 1
resultsComparisons between group showed significant difference in SFI on the 1
conclusionsIn a rat animal model of TA induced muscle strain, functional recovery measured by SFI is evident on the 7 LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
