Neck muscle fatigue impacts plasticity and sensorimotor integration in cerebellum and motor cortex in response to novel motor skill acquisition.

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 cerebellum undergoes neuroplastic changes in response to motor learning. Healthy human individuals demonstrate reduced cerebellar inhibition (CBI) following motor learning. Alterations in neck sensory input due to muscular fatigue are known to impact upper limb sensorimotor processing, suggesting that neck fatigue may also impact cerebellum to motor cortex (M1) pathways in response to motor learning. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether cervical extensor muscle (CEM) fatigue alters CBI in response to motor learning. We examined 16 participants (8 CEM fatigue and 8 CEM control). A double cone transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil stimulated the ipsilateral cerebellar cortex 5 ms before application of contralateral test stimuli of the M1 to the right first dorsal interosseous muscle. Cerebellar-M1 activity curves were established pre- and post-motor skill acquisition (consisting of tracing sinusoidal-pattern waves with the index finger) and following either the CEM fatigue or control intervention. The control group showed greater cerebellar disinhibition than the fatigue group following motor skill acquisition (
