Mechanomyographic responses for the biceps brachii are associated with failure times during isometric force tasks.
Article in Physiological reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In order to characterize the physiological adjustments within the neuromuscular system that contribute to task failure, this study examined the surface mechanomyographic (MMG) response during maximal and submaximal isometric force tasks of the elbow flexors sustained to failure. The time and frequency components of the MMG signal have shown to be influenced by motor unit activation patterns as well as tetanus. Therefore, it was hypothesized that the rate of change for the MMG response would associate with failure times and would be reduced to a similar degree between the two tasks. The isometric force tasks were performed by the dominant elbow flexors of twenty healthy males (age: 25 ± 4 years) and MMG was collected from the biceps brachii. Regression analyses were used to model the relationships between the rates of change for MMG versus failure times. There were high levels of interindividual variability in the response patterns, yet the models demonstrated significant negative associations between the rate of change for the MMG responses and failure times during both tasks (R
