Contralaterally controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation-induced changes in functional connectivity in patients with stroke assessed using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
Trial report in Frontiers in neural circuits, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Contralaterally controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation (CCNMES) is an innovative therapy in stroke rehabilitation which has been verified in clinical studies. However, the underlying mechanism of CCNMES are yet to be comprehensively revealed. The main purpose of this study was to apply functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to compare CCNMES-related changes in functional connectivity (FC) within a cortical network after stroke with those induced by neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) when performing wrist extension with hemiplegic upper extremity. Thirty-one stroke patients with right hemisphere lesion were randomly assigned to CCNMES (
