1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The task-dependent frequency of common neural drive to muscles has important applications for motor rehabilitation therapies. While it is well established that muscle dynamics influence the synchronicity of neural drive, the modulation of this coherence between static and dynamic movements remains unclear. Transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation (TESCS) is believed to enhance spinal cord excitability, potentially improving brain-muscle communication; however, its effect on common neural drive to muscles has not yet been reported. This study aimed to investigate differences in intermuscular coherence (IMC) frequency between static and dynamic movement tasks and determine whether it is feasible to enhance it by TESCS. Participants performed static and dynamic hand grip tasks at different timepoints with respect to stimulation, set to 80% tolerable intensity. Surface EMG signals were recorded from the
