Obesity-related differences in neuromuscular fatigue in adolescent girls.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on neuromuscular fatigue in adolescent girls.
methodsTwelve lean (13.6 ± 0.8 years) and 12 obese (13.9 ± 0.9 years) girls repeated 5-s maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) of the knee extensors until the generated torque reached 55 % of its initial value. Magnetic stimulations were delivered to the femoral nerve every five MVCs to follow the course of voluntary activation (VA) and potentiated twitch torque (Qtwpot).
resultsTorque reached 55 % of its initial value after 52.6 ± 20.4 and 74.9 ± 22.8 repetitions in obese and lean girls, respectively (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the decline of VA was smaller in obese girls (p < 0.001). In contrast, Qtwpot decreased to a greater extent in obese girls (p < 0.05).
conclusionsObese girls fatigue faster than their lean counterparts. The peripheral factors mainly account for fatigue in obese girls, whereas central factors are mainly involved in lean girls.
