The findings of Damas et al. have not influenced the previously proposed time course of skeletal muscle hypertrophy.

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.

Corrections and comments

• Commented on by
  An inability to distinguish edematous swelling from true hypertrophy still prevents a completely accurate interpretation of the time course of muscle hypertrophy.2016
• Comment on
  An examination of the time course of training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy.2011
• Comment on
  Early resistance training-induced increases in muscle cross-sectional area are concomitant with edema-induced muscle swelling.2016
