The importance of neuromuscular rate of force development for physical function in aging and common neurodegenerative disorders - a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
We systematically reviewed existing literature regarding lower extremity neuromuscular rate of force development (RFD), maximal muscle strength (Fmax), and physical function in neurodegenerative populations, and to what extent these outcomes are affected and/or associated. Following PRISMA guidelines, 4 databases (Pubmed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science) were searched. Across aging, Parkinson Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or Stroke, included studies should report (Part 1) deficits in lower extremity RFD, Fmax, and physical function (~ individuals having inferior vs. superior physical function), and/or (Part 2) associations between RFD (or Fmax) and physical function. A total of N=32 studies (n=1087 participants) were included. Part 1: deficits in RFD (-31%,
