Neuroplasticity after upper-extremity rehabilitation therapy with sensory stimulation in chronic stroke survivors.
Article in Brain communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
This study investigated the effect of using subthreshold vibration as a peripheral sensory stimulation during therapy on cortical activity. Secondary analysis of a pilot triple-blinded randomized controlled trial. Twelve chronic stroke survivors underwent 2-week upper-extremity task-practice therapy. Half received subthreshold vibratory stimulation on their paretic wrist (treatment group) and the other half did not (control). EEG connectivity and event-related de-/resynchronization for the sensorimotor network during hand grip were examined at pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up. Statistically significant group by time interactions were observed for both connectivity and event-related spectral perturbation. For the treatment group, connectivity increased at post-intervention and decreased at follow-up. Event-related desynchronization decreased and event-related resynchronization increased at post-intervention, which was maintained at follow-up. The control group had the opposite trend for connectivity and no change in event-related spectral perturbation. The stimulation altered cortical sensorimotor activity. The findings complement the clinical results of the trial in which the treatment group significantly improved gross manual dexterity while the control group did not. Increased connectivity in the treatment group may indicate neuroplasticity for motor learning, while reduced event-related desynchronization and increased event-related resynchronization may indicate lessened effort for grip and improved inhibitory control. EEG may improve understanding of neural processes underlying motor recovery.
