Comparison between Russian and Aussie currents in the grip strength and thickness muscles of the non-dominant hand: A double-blind, prospective, randomized-controlled study.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05355922 (Efficacy of the Aussie Current Associated With Exercise in the Treatment of Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aims to compare the Russian and Aussie currents in the force gain and hypertrophy of the forearm muscles responsible for the grip. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis double-blind, prospective, randomized-controlled study included a total of 30 healthy women (mean age: 20.2±1.7 years; range, 18 to 25 years) between May 2018 and July 2018. The participants were randomly divided into three groups: control group (CG, n=10), Aussie current group (ACG, n=10), and Russian current group (RCG, n=10). All three groups underwent a force test with a gripping dynamometer and the collection of images of the superficial and deep flexor muscles of the fingers with diagnostic ultrasound. The CG received a fictious current stimulus, while the other two groups received the designated stimuli from their currents. Further evaluations were performed after 24 h of the 12th application of the current.
resultsFor grip, there were no significant differences in the moment of evaluation and interaction, while the effect size yielded certain points to advantages of force gain for the group using the RCG. The thickness of the superficial muscles showed a significant difference for the first evaluation between CG and RCG (p=0.014) and between RCG and ACG (p=0.010), indicating a larger effect size for RCG.
conclusionOur study results show that the Russian current is proven to be the mode which yields the most optimal results.
