Comparisons of changes in the two-point discrimination test following muscle fatigue in healthy adults.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of muscle fatigue on skin sensation by looking at changes in two-point discrimination (2PD) after inducing muscle fatigue. [Subjects] Thirty-four young and healthy adults with no pathological symptoms (17 males; 17 females) participated in this study. [Methods] Continuous isometric contraction was applied to the upper and lower extremities with an intensity of 50% of the maximal muscle strength to trigger muscle fatigue, and then the 2PD test was conducted on the 3 cm medial area of the elbow and 5 cm area of the knee bone. [Results] After muscle fatigue was induced, the 2PD distance significantly increased in the upper and lower extremities of both males and females. Before triggering muscle fatigue, the 2PD distance was longer in males than females, but after causing muscle fatigue, there was no difference between males and females. The increase in 2PD distance after the experiment was more significant in females than males. [Conclusion] Muscle fatigue has an effect of reducing the skin's sensory faculty by increasing the 2PD distance in the skin. There is a difference in the response of the skin according to body area and gender; therefore, caution is needed to avoid triggering fatigue during exercise.
