Neuromuscular adaptations to detraining following resistance training in previously untrained subjects.

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
Resistance training has been shown to considerably increase strength and neural drive during maximal eccentric muscle contraction; however, less is known about the adaptive change induced by subsequent detraining. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of dynamic resistance training followed by detraining on changes in maximal eccentric and concentric isokinetic muscle strength, as well as to examine the corresponding adaptations in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and EMG activity. Maximal concentric and eccentric isokinetic knee extensor moment of force was measured in 13 young sedentary males (age 23.5+/-3.2 years), before and after 3 months of heavy resistance training and again after 3 months of detraining. Following training, moment of force increased during slow eccentric (50%, P<0.001), fast eccentric (25%, P<0.01), slow concentric (19%, P<0.001) and fast concentric contraction (11%, P<0.05). Corresponding increases in EMG were observed during eccentric and slow concentric contraction. Significant correlations were observed between the training-induced changes in moment of force and EMG (R(2)=0.33-0.77). Muscle CSA (measured by MRI) increased by 10% (P<0.001). After 3 months of detraining maximal muscle strength and EMG remained preserved during eccentric contraction but not concentric contraction. The present findings suggest that heavy resistance training induces long-lasting strength gains and neural adaptations during maximal eccentric muscle contraction in previously untrained subjects.
