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
The predominant use of electromyography (EMG) with the extremities has led to specific form factors conducive to the arms and legs. Here, we describe the design and validation of a new wearable for recording EMG from the neck. EMG from the neck is useful for intraoperative neuromonitoring, outpatient monitoring of disease progression, and control of assistive technology. The current approach of using adhesive electrodes is time consuming and not practical for extended at-home use. Here, we introduce a low-profile, high-density EMG neckband that supports the unique requirements of the neck. The EMG neckband ensures broad muscle coverage across a range of neck sizes without hindering neck mobility or function (e.g., breathing, eating, speaking). Relative to the clinical and research standard of adhesive electrodes, the EMG neckband provides significantly faster donning and doffing times (seconds instead of minutes) and comparable signal quality and myoelectric control. This work constitutes an important step towards the translation of neck EMG as an assistive and diagnostic wearable, which in turn may improve quality of life for individuals with neuromuscular impairments.
