1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Before and immediately after passive upper limb neurodynamic mobilizations targeting the median nerve, grip ([Formula: see text]) and load ([Formula: see text]) forces applied by the thumb, index and major fingers (three-jaw chuck pinch) were collected using a manipulandum during three different grip precision tasks: grip-lift-hold-replace (GLHR), vertical oscillations (OSC), and vertical oscillations with up and down collisions (OSC/COLL/u, OSC/COLL/d). Several parameters were collected or computed from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Maximum pinch strength and fingertips pressure sensation threshold were also examined. After the mobilizations, [Formula: see text] max changes from 3.2 ± 0.4 to 3.4 ± 0.4 N (p = 0.014), d[Formula: see text] from 89.0 ± 66.6 to 102.2 ± 59.6 [Formula: see text] (p = 0.009), and d[Formula: see text] from 43.6 ± 17.0 to 56.0 ± 17.9 [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]0.001) during GLHR. [Formula: see text] SD changes from 0.9 ± 0.3 to 1.0 ± 0.2 N (p = 0.004) during OSC. [Formula: see text] peak changes from 17.4 ± 8.3 to 15.1 ± 7.5 N ([Formula: see text]0.001), [Formula: see text] from 12.4 ± 6.7 to 11.3 ± 6.8 N (p = 0.033), and [Formula: see text] from 2.9 ± 0.4 to 3.00 ± 0.4 N (p = 0.018) during OSC/COLL/u. [Formula: see text] peak changes from 13.5 ± 7.4 to 12.3 ± 7.7 N (p = 0.030) and [Formula: see text] from 14.5 ± 6.0 to 13.6 ± 5.5 N (p = 0.018) during OSC/COLL/d. Sensation thresholds at index and thumb were reduced (p = 0.001, p = 0.008). Precision grip adaptations observed after the mobilizations could be partly explained by changes in cutaneous median-nerve pressure afferents from the thumb and index fingertips.
