In Vitro and In Vivo Comparative Analysis of Muscle Regenerative Processes Induced by Different Microcurrent Waveforms in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to evaluate the regenerative effects of various microcurrent waveforms in cast-induced gastrocnemius muscle atrophy in rabbits, integrating both in vitro and in vivo analyses. After two weeks of enforced hindlimb immobilization via casting, twenty-four rabbits were divided into four groups and treated for two weeks: Group-1 (control) received sham microcurrent, Group-2 was treated with a square waveform microcurrent, Group-3 with a sine waveform, and Group-4 with a triangular waveform. Treatments were administered daily for one hour. Calf circumference, muscle thickness (via ultrasound), tibial nerve CMAP, muscle fiber CSA, and protein expression (via Western blot analysis) were assessed. Among the groups, the sine waveform microcurrent resulted in significantly enhanced recovery across all measured parameters (
