Electrophysiological responses to Kabat motor control re-education on Bell's Palsy: A randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04894513 (Electro Physiological Responses to Kabat Motor Control Re-education on Bell's Palsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectivesto investigate the Electrophysiological responses post-Kabat Motor Control Re-education in Bell's palsy which might restore the neuromuscular circuit and normal function of the nerve.
methodsThirty children diagnosed with Bell's palsy were equally divided into two groups; the study group that received Kabat Motor Control Re-education and the physical therapy selected designed program, and the control group that received physical therapy selected designed program. The outcomes included Electroneurography (ENoG) measuring distal latency, amplitude, and percentage of degenerations, and the Sunnybrook facial grading system (SFGS), as pre and post-treatment, all parameters were evaluated.
resultsThe ENoG findings approved that post-intervention there was a significant improvement in the study group more than the control group (p<0.05), as the percent of change of latency, amplitude, and percent of degeneration for both frontalis and orbicularis oris of the study group was 18.12-13.6%, 88.3-107.8%, and 74.4-78.9% respectively and that of the control group was 10.8-7.7%, 63.4-69.4%, and 54.9-54.8% respectively, also the percent of change of SFGS post-treatment, for study and control groups was 234.1% and 209.1% respectively.
conclusionThe Electrophysiological responses approved that the advanced Kabat rehabilitation combined with motor control re-education training using extrinsic feedback cues had a valuable effect in the treatment of Bell's Palsy. CLINICAL TRIALS: gov ID: NCT04894513.
