Force depression following a stretch-shortening cycle is independent of stretch peak force and work performed during shortening.

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
The steady-state isometric force following active muscle shortening or lengthening is smaller (force depression; FD) or greater (residual force enhancement; RFE) than a purely isometric contraction at the corresponding length. The mechanisms behind these phenomena remain not fully understood, with few studies investigating the effects of FD and RFE in stretch-shortening cycles (SSC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of RFE and peak force at the end of the stretch phase on the steady-state isometric force following shortening. Isometric thumb adduction force measurements were preceded by an isometric, a shortening contraction to induce FD, and SSCs at different stretch speeds (15°/s, 60°/s, and 120°/s). The different peak force values at the end of stretch and the different amounts of work performed during shortening did not influence the steady-state isometric force at the end of the SSC. We conclude that the FD following SSC depends exclusively on the amount of RFE established in the initial stretch phase in situations where the timing and contractile conditions of the shortening phase are kept constant .
