Reduced oxygen desaturation in the vastus lateralis of chronic stroke survivors during graded muscle contractions.
Article in Topics in stroke rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFew studies have examined changes in skeletal muscle physiology post-stroke. This study examined changes in tissue oxygen saturation (StO
objectivesWe hypothesized that tissue oxygen desaturation (ΔStO
methodsTen chronic stroke survivors (>6 months post-stroke) with lower extremity muscle weakness and 10 age-matched controls completed this prospective cohort study. Maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the knee extensor muscles were assessed with a Biodex dynamometer and StO
resultsIn the paretic leg of the stroke survivors little change in StO
conclusionsThese results indicate that oxygen desaturation in response to isometric muscle contractions is impaired in both the paretic and non-paretic leg muscle of stroke survivors compared to age-matched controls, and these differences are independent of differences in muscle strength.
