Three dimensional innervation zone imaging in spastic muscles of stroke survivors.
Article in Journal of neural engineering, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe outcome of botulinum toxin (BTX) therapy of post-stroke spasticity relies largely on accuracy of BTX injection to the proximity of innervation zones (IZs). Recently developed three-dimensional IZ imaging (3DIZI) is the only technique currently available to provide 3D distributions of IZs in vivo, yet its performance has not been validated under pathological conditions. APPROACH: The performance of 3DIZI was evaluated in the spastic biceps brachii muscles of four chronic stroke subjects. High-density surface electromyography (sEMG) and intramuscular electromyography (iEMG) were simultaneously recorded. The IZ location in the 3D space of the spastic biceps calculated using the 3DIZI technique from sEMG recordings were compared against the IZ location detected using intramuscular wires. MAIN
results3DIZI successfully reconstructed the IZs in the 3D space of the spastic biceps of all four stroke subjects, with a localization error of 4.7 ± 2.7 mm, and specifically a depth error of 1.8 ± 0.4 mm. SIGNIFICANCE: Results have demonstrated the robust performance of 3DIZI under pathological conditions, laying a solid foundation for clinical application of 3D source imaging in leading precise BTX injections for spasticity management.
