Evaluation of motor cortical excitability using evoked torque responses: A new tool with high reliability.
Article in Journal of neuroscience methods, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundMotor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are typically recorded via surface electromyography (EMG). However, another suitable alternative may be recording torque output associated with MEPs, especially when studying multiheaded muscles (e.g. quadriceps) for which EMG may not be ideal.
methodsWe recorded the motor evoked torque elicited by TMS along with conventional EMG-based MEPs (MEP
resultsMotor evoked torque showed good to excellent reliability (ICC: 0.65-0.90) at TMS intensities ≥ 110 % AMT, except when normalized by peak MEP. The reliability of raw MEP COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

conclusionsTMS-induced motor evoked torque can reliably be used to measure corticospinal excitability in the quadriceps muscles.
