Electrical stimulation for limb spasticity in children with stroke: A protocol for systematic review.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis systematic review protocol will appraise the effectiveness and safety of electrical stimulation (ES) for limb spasticity (LS) in children with stroke.
methodsCochrane Library, EMBASE, PUBMED, PsycINFO, Scopus, OpenGrey, CINAHL, ACMD, CNKI, and WANGFANG will be systematically retrieved for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the effectiveness of ES compared with other interventions on LS in children with stroke. Two independent authors will evaluate eligibility using predefined criteria and will perform data extraction and study quality appraisal of eligible trials. Primary outcomes include gait velocity, and limb spasticity status. Limb function, quality of life, pain intensity, and adverse events will be assessed as secondary outcomes. We will perform data analysis using RevMan 5.3 software.
resultsThis systematic review will summarize the most recent evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of ES for LS in children with stroke.
conclusionsThe results of this study may help to determine whether ES is effective or not for LS in children with stroke. STUDY REGISTRATION: INPLASY202050115.
