Median Nerves' Electrical Activation Reduces Ipsilateral Brachial Arteries' Blood Flow and Diameter.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Our main objective in this study was to determine whether there is a difference between ipsilateral and contralateral brachial arteries' flow parameters in response to median nerves' electrical activation. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in healthy and active subjects. The arterial diameter and flow were measured using the probe from the brachial artery. Then, the median nerve was stimulated for 5 seconds via the bipolar stimulus electrode. Arterial diameter and flow were measured once more with the Doppler transducer, which kept going to monitor continuously just after the fifth stimulus. After a week, the same subjects are invited for the purpose of measuring the contralateral brachial arteries' vasomotor response to the same stimulus. Results: Before electrical stimulation, the median flow rate was 72.15 ml/min; after stimulation, the median flow rate was 39.20 ml/min. The drop in flow after stimulation was statistically significant ( Conclusion: We discovered that electrical stimulation of the median nerve caused significant changes in ipsilateral brachial artery blood flow and diameter in healthy volunteers. The same stimulation does not result in flow parameter changes in the contralateral brachial artery.
