Neural-Targeted Rehabilitation Strategies to Address Neuroplasticity After Joint Injury.
Review in Journal of athletic training, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In patients with musculoskeletal injury, changes have been observed within the central nervous system that contribute to altered movement planning. This maladaptive neuroplasticity potentially explains the clinical disconnect where residual neuromuscular dysfunction and high rates of reinjury are often observed even after individuals clear return-to-activity functional testing. An improved understanding of these neural changes could therefore serve as a guide for facilitating a more complete recovery and minimizing risk of reinjury. Therefore, we propose a paradigm of neural-targeted rehabilitation to augment commonly used therapeutic techniques targeting sensorimotor function to better address maladaptive plasticity. Although most treatments have the capability to modify neural function, optimizing these treatments and combining them with integrative therapies (eg, implementation of motor learning strategies, transcranial direct current stimulation) may enhance neural efficiency and facilitate return to activity in patients with musculoskeletal injury. To complete this model, consideration of affective aspects of movement and associated interventions must also be considered to improve the durability of these changes.
