1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Significance: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly employed in studies requiring repeated measurements, yet test-retest reliability is largely unknown. Aim: To investigate test-retest reliability during a postural and a finger-tapping task with and without cap-removal. Approach: Twenty healthy older adults performed a postural and a finger-tapping task. The tasks were repeated twice in one session and once the next day. A portable fNIRS system measured cortical hemodynamics ( Results: Test-retest reliability without cap-removal was excellent for the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the premotor cortex (PMC) and the somatosensory cortex (SSC) (intraclass correlation coefficient Conclusions: Test-retest reliability of fNIRS measurements during two separate motor tasks in healthy older adults was fair to excellent when the cap remained in place. However, removing the fNIRS cap between measurements compromised reliability.
