Effect of Stroke and Aging on Plantarflexor Strength and Voluntary Activation.
Article in Restorative neurology and neuroscience, 2026. 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
Plantarflexor strength and voluntary activation are key metrics for characterizing lower extremity function in stroke survivors. However, the extent to which stroke and/or aging affects these neuromuscular properties remains unclear. This study addressed this gap by testing plantarflexor strength and voluntary activation in fifty-two (stroke: 19, older: 15, young: 18) participants. Testing was done bilaterally in stroke survivors and on the dominant leg of the control participants using the central activation ratio (CAR) and interpolated twitch technique (ITT) with triplets. Stroke survivors demonstrated significantly reduced raw and mass-normalized plantarflexor strength on both legs compared with controls, and on their more affected leg compared with the less affected leg (all
