Neural Substrates for Hand and Shoulder Movement in Healthy Adults: A Functional near Infrared Spectroscopy Study.
Trial report in Brain topography, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Characterization of cortical activation patterns during movements in healthy adults may help our understanding of how the injured brain works. Upper limb motor tasks are commonly used to assess impaired motor function and to predict recovery in individuals with neurological disorders such as stroke. This study aimed to explore cortical activation patterns associated with movements of the hand and shoulder using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and to demonstrate the potential of this technology to distinguish cerebral activation between distal and proximal movements. Twenty healthy, right-handed participants were recruited. Two 10-s motor tasks (right-hand opening-closing and right shoulder abduction-adduction) were performed in a sitting position at a rate of 0.5 Hz in a block paradigm. We measured the variations in oxyhemoglobin (HbO
