Immediate Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation-Assisted Cycling on the Paretic Muscles of Patients With Hemiparesis After Stroke: Evidence From Electrical Impedance Myography.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) has been applied to assess muscle health conditions in neuromuscular disorders. This study aimed to detect immediate muscle electrical impedance property alterations in lower extremity of chronic stroke survivors immediately after functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted cycling training. Methods: Fourteen chronic stroke survivors were recruited for the current study. EIM measurements were conducted before and immediately after 40-min FES-assisted cycling training for each subject. Four interested muscle groups [rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF), tibialis anterior (TA), and the medial head of gastrocnemius (MG)] were selected. Correlation analysis was performed to reveal a significant correlation between changes in EIM parameters and clinical scales [Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the lower extremity (FMA-LE); 6-min walking test (6MWT)]. Results: Immediately after training, reactance ( Conclusion: This brief report demonstrated that EIM can reveal the intrinsic property alteration in the paretic muscle of chronic stroke survivors immediately after FES-assisted cycling training. These alterations might be related to muscle hypertrophy (i.e., increases in muscle fiber size). This brief report might aid the understanding of the mechanism of electrical stimulation-assisted exercise in improving muscle function of stroke survivors.
