Late neural adaptations to electrostimulation resistance training of the plantar flexor muscles.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
The present study aimed to examine early and late neural adaptations to short-term electrostimulation training of the plantar flexor muscles. Changes in triceps surae muscle activation (twitch interpolation), maximal electromyographic (EMG) activity, H-reflex amplitudes and antagonist coactivation were investigated after electrostimulation training (4 weeks) and after 4 weeks of detraining in a group of ten young healthy men. Maximal voluntary contraction torque was significantly higher (P < 0.01) after training (+19.4%) and detraining (+17.2%) with respect to baseline. Activation level, soleus and lateral gastrocnemius EMG normalized to the maximal M-wave significantly increased as a result of training (P < 0.05), and these gains were preserved after detraining, excepted for soleus EMG. Maximal H reflex to maximal M wave ratio increased significantly between baseline and detraining for both soleus and lateral gastrocnemius muscles (P < 0.05). Tibialis anterior coactivation was unchanged after training but significantly decreased after the detraining period (P < 0.01). Short-term electrostimulation resistance training was accompanied by early (increased muscle activation and EMG activity) and late neural adaptations (increased spinal reflex amplitude and decreased coactivation), likely explaining the increase and then the preservation of the maximal voluntary strength. These effects may help in conceiving and programming effective electrostimulation therapy programs for both healthy and immobilized plantar flexor muscles.
