Combined effects of preceding muscle vibration and contraction on the tonic vibration reflex.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
As a result of intrafusal thixotropy, muscle contraction at a short length followed by passive lengthening enhances the subsequent tonic vibration reflex (TVR). We studied the effects of muscle vibration, contraction, and their combination on the subsequent TVR in the left biceps in 20 healthy men. The preceding vibration (20 or 80 Hz) conditioning at a short or long length was applied to the muscle belly with and without a contraction. After conditioning, distal tendon vibration (80 Hz) was used to elicit the TVR at the test length. The strength of the TVR was measured by surface electromyography. Conditioning with 80-Hz vibration at a short length followed by passive lengthening enhanced the subsequent TVR, which was greater in the presence than in the absence of a conditioning contraction. These results suggest that vibration and contraction work synergistically to develop intrafusal thixotropy.
