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
backgroundThe clinical evaluation for disuse muscle atrophy usually depends on qualitative rating indicators with subjective judgments of doctors and some invasive measurement methods such as needle electromyography. Surface electromyography, as a non-invasive method, has been widely used in the detection of muscular and neurological diseases in recent years. In this paper, we explore how to evaluate disuse muscle atrophy based on surface electromyography; Methods: Firstly, we conducted rat experiments using hind-limb suspension to create a model of disuse muscle atrophy. Five groups of rats were suspended for 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days, respectively. We induced leg electromyography of rats through electrical stimulation and used fluorescence staining to obtain the fiber-type composition of rats' leg muscles. We obtained the best-fitting frequency bands of power spectrum density of surface electromyography for type I and type II fibers in rats' leg muscles by changing the frequency band boundaries. Secondly, we conducted tests on the human body and collected the electromyography of the atrophied muscles of the subjects over a period of 21 days. The changes in muscle fiber composition were evaluated using the frequency bands of power spectrum density obtained from rat experiments. The method was to evaluate the changes in type I fibers by the changes in the area of the best-fitting frequency band of type I fibers and to evaluate the changes in type II fibers by the changes in the area of the best-fitting frequency band of type II fibers.
resultsThe results of rat experiments showed that type I fibers best fit the frequency band of 20-330 Hz and type II fibers best fit the frequency band of 176-500 Hz. The results of human testing showed that the atrophy of the two types of fibers was consistent with the changes in the areas of the corresponding best-fitting frequency bands.
conclusionsThe test results demonstrate the feasibility of using surface electromyography to evaluate muscle fiber-type composition and subsequently assess muscle atrophy. Further research may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of disuse muscle atrophy.
