Resting-state functional connectivity for determining outcomes in upper extremity function after stroke: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Objective: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive and promising tool to map the brain functional networks in stroke recovery. Our study mainly aimed to use fNIRS to detect the different patterns of resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in subacute stroke patients with different degrees of upper extremity motor impairment defined by Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of upper extremity (FMA-UE). The second aim was to investigate the association between FMA-UE scores and fNIRS-RSFC among different regions of interest (ROIs) in stroke patients. Methods: Forty-nine subacute (2 weeks-6 months) stroke patients with subcortical lesions were enrolled and were classified into three groups based on FMA-UE scores: mild impairment ( Results: For the group-level comparison, the one-way ANOVA and Conclusion: Our findings indicate that different degrees of post-stroke upper extremity impairment reflect different RSFC patterns, mainly in the connection between DLPFC and bilateral M1. The association between FMA-UE scores and the FC of ipsilesional DLPFC-associated ROIs suggests that the ipsilesional DLPFC may play an important role in motor-related plasticity. These findings can help us better understand the neurophysiological mechanisms of upper extremity motor impairment and recovery in subacute stroke patients from different perspectives. Furthermore, it sheds light on the ipsilesional DLPFC-bilateral M1 as a possible neuromodulation target.
