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

The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether the long-term practice of isolated finger movements reduces the enslaved response of the little finger abductor to the index finger abduction. The right-handed participants tonically or phasically abducted the index finger, while they maintained at rest or tonic abduction of the little finger. The enslaved response of the tonically contracting little finger abductor to the tonic abduction of the index finger was greater than the response of the same muscle at rest in the nonpianists. This indicates that the tonic contraction of the little finger abductor enhances the enslaving drive from the tonically contracting index finger abductor to the little finger abductor. The enslaved response of the tonically contracting little finger abductor to the tonic abduction of the index finger in the pianists was significantly smaller than that in the nonpianists, but such a significant group difference was absent when the little finger abductor was at rest. This indicates that the inhibitory process on the enslaving drive from the tonically contracting index finger abductor to the tonically active little finger abductor is unmasked through the long-term practice.
