Measurement of finger tapping performance using a smartphone application: a pilot study.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
[Purpose] Describe the measurement, reliability and validity of finger tapping repetitions recorded using a commercially available smartphone application (app). [Participants and Methods] We tested a convenience sample of 12 young right-handed participants who completed unilateral index finger tapping and peg board completion tasks with each hand. [Results] Measurement of finger tapping performance was practicable and was shown to be acceptably reliable and able to distinguish between performance of the dominant versus nondominant hand. Finger tapping was not correlated with pegboard performance. [Conclusion] A small sample of young adults showed that measures of finger tapping were easily obtained using a smartphone app. The measures demonstrated acceptable reliability and known groups validity. They, however, may not reflect performance at other measures of voluntary movement functions.
