A Novel Analysis of CMAP Scans From Perspective of Information Theory: CMAP Distribution Index (CDIX).
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveThe compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan is a useful technique for examination of neuromuscular disorders. The objective of this study is to develop a novel analysis of CMAP scans from the perspective of information theory.
methodsA novel index parameter called CMAP distribution index (CDIX) was developed to characterize CMAP scan based on calculation of the information entropy. The performance of CDIX was evaluated using CMAP scan data from healthy control and spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects, and compared with D50 and MScanFit motor unit number estimation (MUNE).
resultsCDIX was significantly lower for the SCI subjects compared with the healthy control subjects (p < 0.001). A significant correlation ( R
conclusionCDIX can be inferred as a useful index reflecting motor unit loss and muscle fiber reinnervation changes.
