The effects of accumulated muscle fatigue on the mechanomyographic waveform: implications for injury prediction.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeMuscle fatigue has been identified as a risk factor for spontaneous muscle injuries in sport. However, few studies have investigated the accumulated effects of muscle fatigue on human muscle contractile properties. This study aimed to determine whether repeated bouts of exercise inducing acute fatigue leads to longer-term fatigue-related changes in muscle contractile properties.
methodsMaximum voluntary contraction (MVC), electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) measures were recorded in the biceps brachii of 11 participants for 13 days, before and after a maximally fatiguing exercise protocol. The exercise protocol involved participants repetitively lifting a weight (concentric contractions only) equal to 40 % MVC, until failure.
resultsA significant (p < 0.05) acute pre- to post-exercise decline of biceps brachii MVC and median power frequency (MPF) was observed each day, whilst no difference existed between pre-exercise MVC or MPF values on subsequent days (days 2-13). However, decreases in number of lift repetitions and in pre-exercise MMG values of muscle belly displacement, contraction velocity and half-relaxation velocity were observed through to day 13.
conclusionsWhilst MVC and MPF measures resolved by the following day's test session, MMG measures indicated an ongoing decrement in muscle performance through days 2-13 consistent with the decline in lift repetitions observed. These results suggest that MMG may be more sensitive in detecting accumulated muscle fatigue than the 'gold standard' measures of MVC/MPF. Considering that muscle fatigue leads to injury, the on-going monitoring of MMG derived contractile properties of muscles in athletes may aid in the prediction of fatigued-induced muscle injury.
