1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in motor rehabilitation for stroke patients. It has been verified that NMES can improve muscle strength and activate the brain, but the studies on how NMES affects the corticomuscular connection are limited. Some studies found an increased corticomuscular coherence (CMC) after a long-term NMES. However, it is still unknown about CMC during NMES, as relatively pure EMG is very difficult to obtain with the contamination of NMES current pulses. In order to approach the condition during NMES, we designed an experiment with short-term NMES and immediately captured data within 100 s. The repetition of wrist flexion was used to realize static muscle contractions for CMC calculation and dynamic contractions for event-related desynchronization (ERD). The result of 13 healthy participants showed that maximal values (
