Leg dominancy in relation to fast isometric torque production and squat jump height.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
We hypothesized that maximal unilateral isometric knee extensor torque, the rate of torque development during maximally fast isometric contractions and unilateral squat jump performance would be better with the dominant than non-dominant leg. Limb dominancy was established using the step up, balance recovery, and ball kick test. On two days, eight men (21.5 +/- 2.2 years, means +/- SD) performed unilateral maximal isometric contractions with their knee extensors (120 degrees knee angle) with superimposed electrical stimulation to determine maximal torque and voluntary activation for both limbs. In addition, maximally fast isometric contractions without countermovement and unilateral squat jumps (SJ) starting from 120 degrees knee angles were performed. Torque time integral (contractile impulse) over the first 40 ms after torque onset (TTI40) and maximal rates of torque development (MRTD) during voluntary and maximal electrical nerve stimulation were used to quantify initial torque rise. Limb dominancy tests were very consistent, but none of the parameters was (or tended to be) significantly different between limbs, neither during maximal electrical stimulation nor during voluntary attempts. Between limbs there were significant relationships for voluntary TTI40 (r (2) = 0.94) and maximal SJ height (r (2) = 0.88) and both parameters were significantly related in both limbs (r (2) = 0.69 and 0.75). In conclusion, unilateral fast torque generating capacity, muscle activation and squat jump performance were similar in both limbs, but differed substantially among subjects, with strong correlations between fast voluntary isometric torque development and jump height. These findings further challenge the concept of lower limb dominancy in dynamometry testing in sports and rehabilitation.
