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

Beta-band event-related desynchronization and synchronization elicited by somatosensory stimulation could be potential neurophysiological markers of motor function, specifically in neurological disorders; however, their characteristics in healthy individuals remain unclear. This study aimed to examine whether the amount of afferent input modulates beta-band oscillatory responses and if they are associated with motor performance in healthy adults. Magnetoencephalographic data were recorded for 24 healthy participants during cutaneous electrical stimulation of the right index finger at three intensities based on individual sensory threshold (1×, 2× and 3× thresholds). Amplitudes of beta-band event-related desynchronization and synchronization were quantified relative to a prestimulus baseline, and motor performance was assessed using the Assembly test of the Purdue Pegboard Test. Neither oscillatory response showed a significant association with motor performance. However, the proportion of participants exhibiting these responses increased with increasing stimulation intensity, indicating reduced interindividual variability at higher intensities. Amplitudes of both responses increased with higher afferent input but showed limited sensitivity to subtle differences in input amount. These results demonstrate that cutaneous stimulation can elicit beta-band oscillations in healthy individuals, reflecting afferent input and being possibly modulated by its amount. These findings contribute to improved understanding of beta-band oscillatory responses, specifically to afferent input magnitude.
