A single center report of MScanFit motor unit number estimation in five muscles of healthy subjects.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The objective of this study was to estimate the number of motor units in 5 muscles from healthy individuals using the MScanFit program based on compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan recordings. The examined muscles included first dorsal interosseous (FDI), abductor pollicis brevis (APB), abductor digiti minimi (ADM), second lumbrical (SL), and abductor hallucis (AH). CMAP scans were recorded from a total of 24 healthy participants. Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) values were derived from the MScanFit program. The average MUNE was 136.1 ± 31.1 (mean ± standard deviation) for the FDI, 134.9 ± 37.4 for the APB, 127.3 ± 32.3 for the ADM, 39.6 ± 8.3 for the SL, and 143.9 ± 28.9 for the AH muscles. Findings of the study provide useful information of the MScanFit MUNE for the examined muscles of healthy subjects from a single center.
