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

Objective: We showed that a tailored strengthening intervention based on the size of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in the affected arm was effective in improving function in chronic stroke survivors. Here, we investigated whether the short-term gains in arm function were maintained at 1-year follow-up. Subjects: Twenty-five participants at the chronic stage of a stroke. Methods: Participants were classified in the light (LI; MEPs 50-120 μV, Results: A significant effect of time was noted on all outcome measures [FMA: Conclusion: The size of MEPs in the affected arm could be a significant factor in influencing responses to strengthening exercises post-stroke and allow gains to be maintained up to 1 year post-intervention.
