Innovations in electrical stimulation harness neural plasticity to restore motor function.
Article in Bioelectronics in medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Novel technology and innovative stimulation paradigms allow for unprecedented spatiotemporal precision and closed-loop implementation of neurostimulation systems. In turn, precise, closed-loop neurostimulation appears to preferentially drive neural plasticity in motor networks, promoting neural repair. Recent clinical studies demonstrate that electrical stimulation can drive neural plasticity in damaged motor circuits, leading to meaningful improvement in users. Future advances in these areas hold promise for the treatment of a wide range of motor systems disorders.
