Importance of the Primary Motor Cortex in Development of Human Hand/Finger Dexterity.
Article in Cerebral cortex communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Hand/finger dexterity is well-developed in humans, and the primary motor cortex (M1) is believed to play a particularly important role in it. Here, we show that efficient recruitment of the contralateral M1 and neuronal inhibition of the ipsilateral M1 identified by simple hand motor and proprioceptive tasks are related to hand/finger dexterity and its ontogenetic development. We recruited healthy, right-handed children (
