1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The capacity to reacquire motor skills lost after a stroke is crucial to promote upper-limb motor recovery, but the impact of lesion location on motor skill acquisition and the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain uncertain. Cortico-spinal excitability, measured with transcranial magnetic stimulation, provides information about the functional integrity of the cortico-spinal tract, a structure essential for upper-limb motor function and recovery post-stroke. Cortico-spinal excitability is a biomarker that has been used to predict upper-limb motor recovery and guide interventions post-stroke. We investigated associations between different cortico-spinal excitability measures of facilitation and inhibition and the capacity to improve the performance of a short-term visuomotor adaptation task that required accurate force modulation with the most affected hand in 103 individuals with either cortical (
