Abnormal functional corticomuscular coupling after stroke.
Article in NeuroImage. Clinical, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Motor dysfunction is a major consequence after stroke and it is generally believed that the loss of motor ability is caused by the impairments in neural network that controls movement. To explore the abnormal mechanisms how the brain controls shoulder abduction and elbow flexion in "flexion synergy" following stroke, we used the functional corticomuscular coupling (FCMC) between the brain and the muscles as a tool to identify the temporal evolution of corticomuscular interaction between the synkinetic and separate phases. 59-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) over brain scalp and 2-channel electromyogram (EMG) from biceps brachii (BB)/deltoid (DT) were recorded in sixteen stroke patients with motor dysfunction and eight healthy controls during a task of uplifting the arm (stage 1) and maintaining up to the chest (stage 2). As a result, compared to healthy controls, stroke patients had abnormally reduced coherence in EEG-BB combination and increased coherence in EEG-DT combination. Compared to synkinetic stroke patients, separate ones exhibited higher coupling at gamma-band during stage 1 and higher at beta-band during stage 2 in EEG-BB combination, but lower at beta-band during stage 2 in EEG-DT combination. Therefore, we infer that the disorders of efferent control and afferent proprioception in sensorimotor system for stroke patients effect on the oscillation at beta and gamma bands. Patients need integrate more information for shoulder abduction to compensate for the functional loss of elbow flexion in the recovery process, so that partial cortical cortex controlling on the elbow flexion may work on the shoulder abduction during "flexion synergy". Such researches could provide new perspective on the temporal evolution of corticomuscular interaction after stroke and add to our understanding of possible pathomechanisms how the brain abnormally controls shoulder abduction and elbow flexion in "flexion synergy".
