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 goal of this study was to estimate the ability of biceps femoris (BF) muscle, a hamstring muscle crucial for biarticulate movement, to adapt to changed functional demands. For this purpose and due to ethical reasons, in a group of healthy sedentary men and of 15 sprinters, a non-invasive mechanomyography (MMG) method was used to measure the muscle twitch contraction times (Tc). These correlate with the proportions of slow and fast fibres in the muscle. To further elucidate the data obtained by MMG method and to obtain reference data for the muscle, the fiber type proportions in autoptic samples of BF in sedentary young men were determined according to histochemical reaction for myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (mATPase). In one BF sample also myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform expression was demonstrated immunohistochemically. With MMG we indirectly demonstrated that biceps femoris muscle has a strong potential to transform into faster contracting muscle after sprint training, since the average Tc in sprinters was much lower (19.5 +/- 2.3 ms) than in the sedentary group (30.25 +/- 3.5 ms). The results of the histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis of BF muscle also imply a high adapting potential of this muscle. Beside type 1, 2a and 2x (2b) fibres a relatively high proportion of intermediate type 2c fibres (5.7% +/- 0.7), which co-expressed MyHC-1 and -2a, was found. Therefore, type 2c might represent a potential pool of fibres, capable of transformation either to slow type 1 or to fast type 2a in order to tune the functional response of BF muscle according to the actual functional demands of the organism.
