Electrochemical skin conductance for quantitative assessment of sweat function: Normative values in children.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04262778 (Diagnostic Accuracy of Electrochemical Skin Conductance Measurement in Paediatric Small Fibre Neuropathy Following Neurotoxic Chemotherapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectivesThe Sudoscan™ system (Impeto Medical, Paris, France) has been recently proposed as a standardized, easy, painless tool for sudomotor function assessment. It is now used as an additional diagnostic tool in small fibre neuropathy. So far, no work has been published in children. The aim of this study was to measure electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) using the Sudoscan™ system in children in order to assess its feasibility and to provide normative values.
methods100 children were included in the study: 55 girls and 45 boys, age rank 2-17, mean 10.5 y. They were accompanying their brother or sister who came as outclinic patients in the Department of Paediatrics or the Department of Paediatric surgery of the University Hospital.
resultsAll subjects underwent the test. It was performed without any difficulty, except for some of the youngest who sometimes had some trouble in keeping calm for 3 min over the plates. 4 subjects who took the test were excluded from the analysis (2 diabetic patients and 2 having had previous chemotherapy). ESC was quite stable along childhood with an overall 80.1 μS value for hands and 81.9 μS for feet, very similar to what is observed in adults.
conclusionMaturation process seems to occur early in life, in accordance to sudomotor control when assessed by sympathetic skin response, which is also recorded early in infancy. SIGNIFICANCE: ESC measurement is a simple and easy-to-perform test that can be performed in the clinical setting in children in 5 min.
