Does central fatigue exist under low-frequency stimulation of a low fatigue-resistant muscle?
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 7 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 aim of the present study was to determine whether central fatigue occurs when fatigue is electrically induced in the abductor pollicis brevis muscle. Three series of 17 trains (30 Hz, 450 μs, 4 s on/6 s off, at the maximal tolerated intensity) were used to fatigue the muscle. Neuromuscular tests consisting of electrically evoked and voluntary contractions were performed before and after every 17-train series. Both the force induced by the stimulation trains and maximal voluntary force generation capacity significantly decreased throughout the protocol (-27 and -20%, respectively, at the end of the protocol, P < 0.001). These decreases were accompanied by failure in muscle excitability (P < 0.01), as assessed by the muscle compound action potential (M-wave or Mmax), leading to significant impairment in the muscle contractile properties (P < 0.05), as assessed by the muscle mechanical response (Pt). Central fatigue indices (level of activation, RMS/Mmax and H reflex) were not significantly changed at any point in the protocol. This gives evidence of preserved motor command reaching the motor neurons and preserved spinal excitability. The results indicate that this low-frequency stimulation protocol entails purely peripheral fatigue development when applied to a low fatigue-resistant muscle.
