Therapeutic Lower Extremity Power Training Alters the Sensorimotor Cortical Activity of Individuals With Cerebral Palsy.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: To utilize magnetoencephalographic (MEG) brain imaging to examine potential changes in sensorimotor cortical oscillations after therapeutic power training in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Design: Cohort. Setting: Academic medical center. Participants: Individuals with CP (N=11; age=15.9±1.1 years; Gross Motor Function Classification System I- III) and neurotypical controls (NTs; N=16; age=14.6±0.8 years). Interventions: Participants with CP underwent 24 (8 weeks; 3 days a week) sessions of high-velocity lower extremity power training on a leg press. The NTs underwent single baseline MEG assessments. Main Outcome Measures: Pre-post bilateral leg press 1-repetition maximum and peak power production were used to assess the muscular performance changes. The 10-m walk and 1-minute walk tests were used to assess mobility changes. During MEG recordings, participants used their right leg to complete a goal-directed isometric target-matching task. Advanced beamforming methods were subsequently used to image the strength of the sensorimotor beta oscillatory power. Results: Before the therapeutic power training, the participants with CP had stronger beta sensorimotor cortical oscillations compared with the NT controls. However, the beta sensorimotor cortical oscillations were weaker and approximated the controls after the participants with CP completed the therapeutic power training protocol. There also was a link between the amount of improvement in leg peak power production and the amount of reduction in sensorimotor cortical oscillations seen after therapy. Conclusions: Therapeutic power training appears to optimize the sensorimotor cortical oscillations of individuals with CP, and these neuroplastic changes partly contribute to improvements in the leg peak power production of individuals with CP. Therapeutic power training might provide the key ingredients for beneficial neuroplastic change.
