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
Functional electrical stimulation is widely applied in the rehabilitation of individuals with cerebrovascular disease or spinal cord injury but is limited by rapid muscle fatigue. We present a novel stimulation strategy based on real-time motor point tracking using a wearable functional electrical stimulation device with a movable electrode. A crank-slider mechanism drives the electrode to follow the biceps brachii motor point trajectory according to elbow joint angle, aiming to optimize stimulation site and reduce fatigue. Seven healthy male participants compared this approach with time-shifted and joint angle-shifted stimulation. Muscle performance was evaluated by maximum voluntary contraction, change in elbow joint angle, and subjective comfort assessed on a visual analogue scale. Results showed that motor point tracking significantly reduced fatigue and improved comfort compared with conventional methods, supporting its potential to enhance functional electrical stimulation-based upper limb rehabilitation.
