Effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for wrist rehabilitation after acute ischemic stroke.
Observational study in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
This study investigated the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for patients with wrist dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).A total of 82 patient cases with wrist dysfunction after AIS were selected in this study. Of these, 41 cases in the intervention group received physical training and NMES treatment. The other 41 cases in the control group received physical training only. The primary outcome was measured by Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) score. The secondary outcomes were measured by the Barthel Index (BI), and numerical rating scale (NRS).After 4-week treatment, patients in the intervention group neither improved arm function recovery, measured by ARAT score (P = .79), and activities of daily living, measured by BI scale (P = .62), nor reduced pain, measured by the NRS scale (P = .11), compared with patients in the control group.The results of this study demonstrated that NMES might not benefit for patients with wrist dysfunction after AIS after 4-week treatment.
