Superficial Ventral Premotor Pathways to Primary Motor Cortex Shape the Temporal Coordination of Precision Graspinnog.
Article in The European journal of neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Goal-directed actions, such as picking up, manipulating, or using objects, are so ubiquitous that impairments in these skills can severely impact quality of life. Reaching-grasping behaviors are driven by a frontoparietal network, with the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and the primary motor cortex (M1) serving as critical frontal nodes. PMv-M1 connectivity can be modulated using cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (cc-PAS), which involves repeated paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of both nodes. Stimulating M1 with an anterior-posterior (AP) current direction selectively enhances corticospinal excitability during isometric precision grip, but not during isometric power grip. However, it is unclear how the plasticity induction in the more superficial PMv-M1 connectivity may influence the preparation and execution of goal-directed, naturalistic reaching-grasping actions. In this study, participants performed reaching-grasping actions toward small or large objects, requiring precision or power grip, before and after applying the PMv-M1 cc-PAS
