Self-Assisted Standing Enabled by Non-Invasive Spinal Stimulation after Spinal Cord Injury.
Trial report in Journal of neurotrauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 164 papers, 9 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Neuromodulation of spinal networks can improve motor control after spinal cord injury (SCI). The objectives of this study were to (1) determine whether individuals with chronic paralysis can stand with the aid of non-invasive electrical spinal stimulation with their knees and hips extended without trainer assistance, and (2) investigate whether postural control can be further improved following repeated sessions of stand training. Using a double-blind, balanced, within-subject cross-over, and sham-controlled study design, 15 individuals with SCI of various severity received transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation to regain self-assisted standing. The primary outcomes included qualitative comparison of need of external assistance for knee and hip extension provided by trainers during standing without and in the presence of stimulation in the same participants, as well as quantitative measures, such as the level of knee assistance and amount of time spent standing without trainer assistance. None of the participants could stand unassisted without stimulation or in the presence of sham stimulation. With stimulation all participants could maintain upright standing with minimum and some (
