Spontaneous epidermal stimulation briefly and diffusely enhances skin spatial acuity in shooting athletes: Evidence from event-related potentials.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTactile sensation is crucial because it provides information about objects during fine-motor actions. Skin stimulation has a wide range of effects, including analgesia, cognitive enhancement, and endocrine modulation. However, very few studies have investigated the effects of spontaneous epidermal stimulation (SES) on tactile sensation, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
methodsTo explore the neural mechanisms of SES-induced enhancement of skin spatial acuity (SSA), we conducted 2 experiments on 40 healthy young shooters, combining the gate-control theory, heart rate variability, and electroencephalography.
resultsOur results indicate that SES transiently and diffusely enhances SSA, with this effect being particularly pronounced under fatigue conditions and occurring within 5 seconds. This enhancement results from multiple parallel neural mechanisms including pain filtering, sensory nerve activation, attentional modulation, and information processing.
conclusionThese findings provide new insights into how SES can be used to enhance tactile sensitivity in athletes, offering potential applications in training and rehabilitation. This could help develop new training and rehabilitation strategies for athletes and patients with tactile impairment.
