Force-time history effects in voluntary contractions of human tibialis anterior.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
When an isometrically activated muscle is stretched or shortened the isometric steady-state force after the length change is increased (residual force enhancement) or decreased (force depression), respectively compared to a purely isometric contraction. This behavior has been observed consistently from the single sarcomere to the whole muscle level. However, the results for voluntary contractions in vivo are controversial and there are no studies for maximal voluntary contractions of medium sized muscles like the human ankle dorsiflexors. We investigated the effect of active muscle stretching and shortening for in vivo human tibialis anterior (n = 12) for maximal voluntary contractions for two magnitudes of stretching (15 degrees and 30 degrees) and two speeds of contraction (10 degrees/s and 45 degrees/s). Torques during stretches were higher compared to the purely isometric reference contractions and peak torques occurred prior to the end of the stretch. During the stretch, muscular activity decreased after peak torque had been reached for the high speed stretch experiments. In the steady-state phase following stretch, torque was increased for all experimental conditions but not for all time periods following stretch. The amount of residual force enhancement was independent of amplitude and speed of stretch. In the steady-state phase following shortening, torques were decreased compared to the isometric reference contractions and force depression was increased with increasing speeds of shortening.
