Biomimetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Promotes the Rat Hindlimb Motion Modulation in Stepping: An Experimental Analysis.
Article in Cyborg and bionic systems (Washington, D.C.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Peripheral nerve stimulation is an effective neuromodulation method in patients with lower extremity movement disorders caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or other diseases. However, most current studies on rehabilitation using sciatic nerve stimulation focus solely on ankle motor regulation through stimulation of common peroneal and tibial nerves. Using the electrical nerve stimulation method, we here achieved muscle control via different sciatic nerve branches to facilitate the regulation of lower limb movements during stepping and standing. A map of relationships between muscles and nerve segments was established to artificially activate specific nerve fibers with the biomimetic stimulation waveform. Then, characteristic curves depicting the relationship between neural electrical stimulation intensity and joint control were established. Finally, by testing the selected stimulation parameters in anesthetized rats, we confirmed that single-cathode extraneural electrical stimulation could activate combined movements to promote lower limb movements. Thus, this method is effective and reliable for use in treatment for improving and rehabilitating lower limb motor dysfunction.
