Harnessing Neuroplasticity: The Role of Priming in Enhancing Post Stroke Motor Function.
Review in Restorative neurology and 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
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, highlighting the need for innovative neurorehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery. Recent advancements emphasize neuroplasticity-the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections-through targeted interventions. Among these, cortical priming has emerged as a promising approach to enhance neuroplasticity and improve motor recovery post-stroke by modulating brain excitability for optimal motor learning. This review explores the role of cortical priming in stroke rehabilitation, highlighting its ability to enhance neural excitability and plasticity in motor-related brain regions. Various priming techniques, including non-invasive brain stimulation (rTMS, tDCS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), movement-based priming, aerobic exercise, and sensory stimulation, are examined. Despite promising findings, challenges remain in optimizing protocols and addressing individual variability. Future directions focus on biomarker-driven rehabilitation, personalized strategies, and large-scale trials to integrate cortical priming into clinical practice.
