A novel perspective of associativity of upper limb motor impairment and cortical excitability in sub-acute and chronic stroke.

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: The global inclination of stroke onset in earlier years of life and increased lifespan have resulted in an increased chronic post-stroke-related disability. The precise and simplistic approach such as the correlation of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) parameters, Resting Motor Threshold (RMT) and Motor Evoked Potential (MEP), in patients with stroke might play a critical role, given the prognostic value of MEP, a measure of cortical excitability, and might be the key point in prescribing appropriate therapeutic strategies. Objective: The study aimed to determine the correlation of FMA-based impairment in the upper extremity function specifically of the wrist and hand with respect to the neurophysiological parameters of corticospinal tract integrity. Materials and methods: The Institutional Review Board approved the study and 67 (n) patients with stroke were enrolled in the Department of Neurology, AIIMS, New Delhi, India. The motor assessment was performed on patients by the upper extremity subset of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the clinical history was obtained. RMT and MEP of Extensor Digitorum Communis (EDC) muscle were measured Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between Fugl-Meyer Assessment Wrist/Hand (FMA W/H) and MEP scores ( Conclusion: MEP of the EDC muscle was found to be associated with sensorimotor control as measured by FMA. Moreover, FMA W/H score values might be a better prognostic indicator of EDC MEP responsiveness. Interestingly, a novel element comprising the range of FMA UE and FMA W/H components was observed to be a potential indicator of MEP responsiveness and could also indicate establishing FMA as a surrogate for TMS in resource-limited settings for prognostification.
