Limb segment load inhibits post activation depression of soleus H-reflex in humans.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2012. 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
objectiveWe investigated the effect of various doses of limb segment load on soleus H-reflex amplitude and post activation depression in healthy individuals. We also explored the influence of limb segment load on spinal circuitry in one individual with chronic SCI.
methodsTwenty-eight healthy adults and one SCI subject received compressive loads applied to the top of their knee at varied doses of load (10%, 25%, and 50% of the body weight). Soleus H-reflexes were measured before (baseline) and during the loading phase.
resultsThere were no significant differences in H-reflex amplitudes during the 50% BW load-on phase as compared to either baseline session or the load-off phase. However, the post activation depression was decreased over 9% (p<0.05) during the load-on phase compared to the load-off phase and scaled according to load (50%>25%>10%). The post activation depression ratio also appears less responsive to varying loads after chronic SCI.
conclusionsLimb segment load decreases post-activation depression in humans. These findings suggest that the mechanism associated with post activation depression is modulated by limb segment load, and may be influenced by spinal reorganization after SCI. SIGNIFICANCE: Future studies will determine if various levels of spasticity modulate the response of limb segment load on post activation depression in those with acute and chronic SCI.
