Muscle Electrical Impedance Properties and Activation Alteration After Functional Electrical Stimulation-Assisted Cycling Training for Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Longitudinal Pilot Study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Electrical impedance myography (EIM) is a sensitive assessment for neuromuscular diseases to detect muscle inherent properties, whereas surface electromyography (sEMG) is a common technique for monitoring muscle activation. However, the application of EIM in detecting training effects on stroke survivors is relatively few. This study aimed to evaluate the muscle inherent properties and muscle activation alteration after functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted cycling training to chronic stroke survivors. Fifteen people with chronic stroke were recruited for 20 sessions of FES-assisted cycling training (40 min/session, 3-5 sessions/week). The periodically stimulated and assessed muscle groups were quadriceps (QC), tibialis anterior (TA), hamstrings (HS), and medial head of gastrocnemius (MG) on the paretic lower extremity. EIM parameters [resistance (R), reactance (X), phase angle (θ), and anisotropy ratio (AR)], clinical scales (Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and 6-min walking test (6MWT)] and sEMG parameters [including root-mean square (RMS) and co-contraction index (CI) value] were collected and computed before and after the training. Linear correlation analysis was conducted between EIM and clinical scales as well as between sEMG and clinical scales. The results showed that motor function of the lower extremity, balance, and walking performance of subjects improved after the training. After training, θ value of TA (
