The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on critical torque.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveExercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) has been shown to reduce endurance exercise performance. This study examined the effects of EIMD on critical torque (CT) and the sum of the torque integral above CT during (∫
methodsCT was determined in eight participants prior to and 48-h following EIMD. EIMD was induced using electrically stimulated eccentric knee extensions until maximal voluntary strength (MVC) was reduced by 40%. EIMD was assessed by changes in MVC and ratings of muscle soreness using a VAS scale. EMG and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) were collected from the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis, respectively, during the CT test to assess neuromuscular electrical activity and microvascular circulation.
resultsMVC decreased 22% (p = 0.006) and soreness increased from 2.1 ± 1.9 to 50.4 ± 31.5 mm (p = 0.002) 48-h following eccentric exercise. CT declined from 61.6 ± 17.8 to 52.0 ± 14.1 Nm (-14%; p = 0.005) post-EIMD. ∫
conclusionsOur finding that EIMD-reduced CT may explain the decrements in endurance performance following EIMD observed in the previous studies. The disproportionate reduction in ∫
