Motor unit number estimation of human abductor hallucis from a compound muscle action potential scan.
Article in Muscle & nerve, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionThis study performed motor unit number estimation (MUNE) of the abductor hallucis (AH) muscle from 16 healthy control participants on the basis of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan.
methodsMuscle responses to electrical stimuli ranging from subthreshold to supramaximal intensity were recorded, and MUNE was determined from a model of the responses (MScanFit program).
resultsThe average CMAP amplitude and MUNE of the AH for the right and left sides combined were 19.6 ± 0.75 mV and 127 ± 5 (mean ± SE), respectively. DISCUSSION: Findings of the study provide useful information about the motor unit number of the AH. Muscle Nerve 58: 735-737, 2018.
