1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Most musculoskeletal models used to analyze human movement utilize Hill-type muscle models that account for state dependent intrinsic muscle properties (e.g., force-length-velocity relationships), but rarely do these models include history dependent effects (e.g., force depression or enhancement). While the relationship between muscle shortening and force depression can be well characterized by muscle mechanical work, the relationship between muscle stretch and force enhancement is more complex. Further, it is not well known how these properties influence dynamic movements. Therefore, the goal of this study was to develop a modified Hill-type muscle model that incorporated stretch-induced force enhancement into a previously described model that included shortening-induced force depression. The modified muscle model was based on experimental data from isolated cat soleus muscles. Simulations of in situ muscle experiments were used to validate the model and simulations of a simple human movement task (counter-movement jumping) were used to examine the interactions of the history dependent effects. The phenomenological model of stretch-induced force enhancement was dependent on both the magnitude of stretch and relative length of the muscle fiber. Simulations of the in situ muscle experiments showed that the model could accurately reproduce force enhancement and force depression, as well as the complex additive relationship between these effects. Simulations of counter-movement jumping showed that a similar jump pattern could be achieved with and without history dependent effects and that a relatively minor change in muscle activation could mitigate the impact of these effects.
