Neuromuscular Properties of the Human Wrist Flexors as a Function of the Wrist Joint Angle.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The joint angle dependence of voluntary activation and twitch properties has been investigated for several human skeletal muscles. However, although they play a key role for hand function and possess a unique neural control compared to muscles surrounding other joint complexes, little is known about the wrist flexors innervated by the median nerve. Therefore, isometric voluntary and electrically evoked contractions of the wrist flexors were analyzed at three wrist joint angles (extension: -30°, neutral: 0°, flexion: 30°) to quantify the joint angle dependence of (i) voluntary activation (assessed via peripheral nerve stimulation and electromyography [EMG]), (ii) unpotentiated twitch torques, and (iii) potentiated twitch torques. Maximum voluntary torque was lower in extension compared to neutral and flexion. Although voluntary activation was generally high, data indicate that voluntary activation of the wrist flexors innervated by the median nerve was lower and the antagonist·agonist
