Beta, gamma band, and high-frequency coherence of EMGs of vasti muscles caused by clustering of motor units.
Article in Experimental brain research, 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
The vasti muscles stabilize the knee joint during the running movement. This requires some motor units to synchronize. Test the hypothesis that EMGs from the vasti muscles (VM and VL) are coherent in four frequency bands, one below 30 Hz, the 40 Hz (30-45 Hz), the middle band up to 120 Hz, and the high-frequency band (135-280 Hz). Because the VM during one step and the VL during another step contain common EMG signal parts the inter-step coherence at low frequencies does not disappear when the coherence is computed between the EMG
