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
purposeWe investigated the recovery of muscle electrical properties after intermittent intense exercise by examining separately the first and second phases of the muscle compound action potential (M-wave).
methodsM-waves and mechanical twitches were obtained using femoral nerve stimulation throughout the 30-min recovery period following 48 successive intermittent 3-s MVCs. The amplitude, duration, and area of the M-wave first and second phases, and the peak twitch force were measured from the knee extensors.
resultsThe amplitudes of both the first and second M-wave phases were increased immediately after exercise (P < 0.05), but, whereas the first phase remained enlarged for 5 min after exercise, the increase of the second phase only lasted for 10 s. After 30 min of recovery, the amplitude, area, and duration of both the first and second phases were decreased compared to control values (10-20%, P < 0.05). A significant temporal association was found between the changes in the amplitude and duration of the M-wave first phase (maximal cross correlations, 0.9-0.93; time lag, 0 s). A significant, negative temporal relation was found between the amplitude of the M-wave first phase and the peak twitch force during recovery (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe prolonged enlargement of the M-wave first phase during recovery seems primarily related to fatigue-induced changes in membrane properties, whereas the extremely short recovery of the second phase might be related to changes in muscle architectural features. It is concluded that muscle excitability is impaired even after intermittent fatiguing contractions which allow partial clearance of extracellular K
