The MMT of Elbow Flexion and the AFE Predict Impairment and Disability at 3 Weeks in Patients With Acute Stroke.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether upper extremity motor function assessment within 72 h from stroke onset can predict the functional outcomes of the upper extremity. Design: This was a prospective, cohort study of patients with a first unilateral hemispheric stroke between May 2018 and March 2020. The motor arm item of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, manual muscle testing of the elbow and forearm, and active finger extension scale were assessed within 72 h after stroke onset. The Fugl-Meyer assessment upper extremity motor score and action research arm test were assessed at discharge from the acute hospital. Multiple regression analysis was used to study predictors of upper extremity motor function at discharge from the acute hospital. The adjustment variables included age, sex, thumb localizing test, and visuospatial function. Results: Sixty acute stroke patients were recruited. The model with the highest coefficient of determination for the Fugl-Meyer assessment upper extremity motor score at discharge was the elbow flexion model ( Conclusion: The manual muscle testing of elbow flexion and the active finger extension may be useful for predicting impairment and disability at 3 weeks in patients with acute stroke.
