The H-reflex study of the flexor carpi radialis muscle in healthy individuals.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the physiological and anatomical factors influencing the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) H-reflex and to establish reference values for FCR H-reflex parameters in relation to these factors. Methods: The FCR H-reflexes, elicited by median nerve stimulation, were assessed in 80 healthy individuals both at rest and during isometric voluntary contraction (IVC). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed with H-reflex parameters as the dependent variables, while age, gender, height, arm length, and weight were included as independent variables. Results: The FCR H-reflex was recorded bilaterally in nearly all healthy individuals (76 out of 80) during IVC, while it could be obtained in only 35% (28 out of 80) of these individuals at rest. During IVC, the maximum H-reflex amplitude (Hmax) and its ratio to the maximum M-response amplitude (Hmax/Mmax ratio) were significantly increased ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that FCR H-reflexes are more reliably elicited during IVC, and that both physiological and anatomical factors should be considered when assessing H-reflex abnormalities.
