Establishment of longitudinal transcranial stimulation motor evoked potentials monitoring of the forelimbs and hindlimbs in an ischemic stroke rat model.

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
Evaluation of motor function ischemic stroke rat models includes qualitative assessments such as the modified neurological severity score (mNSS). However, mNSS cannot evaluate the function of forelimbs and hindlimbs separately. We quantitatively assessed motor function in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model of ischemic stroke. We recorded transcranial stimulation motor evoked potentials (tcMEPs) from MCAO rats and measured the changes in onset latency and amplitude at the forelimbs and hindlimbs up to 28 days after stroke. All MCAO subjects showed hemiparesis. The amplitudes of tcMEPs in both fore- and hindlimbs were inversely correlated with mNSS scores, but the amplitudes in the forelimbs improved later than those in the hindlimbs. The onset latency of tcMEPs in the forelimbs and hindlimbs remained almost unchanged during the follow-up period. Our results showed the differences in tcMEPs amplitude recovery times between the forelimbs and hindlimbs after MCAO, which emphasizes the importance of separately evaluating forelimbs and hindlimbs in post-ischemic stroke models. This minimally invasive and longitudinal quantitative method could be useful for further research on diseases and neurogenesis.
