1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveThe present study aimed to compare the effects of quadriceps or calf muscles fatigue on static and dynamic standing balance in young healthy adult males.

methodsForty-five healthy, physically active male adults aged 18-30 years were randomly divided into three groups; Quadriceps muscle fatigue group (n=15), Calf muscles fatigue group (n=15), and a control group (n=15). The Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance, Unilateral Stance, and Limits of Stability (reaction time and movement velocity) were selected as outcome measures for this study.

resultsThe results showed a non-significant difference between pretest and posttest balance scores (p>0.05) for quadriceps and calf muscles fatigue on balance. Similarly, there were non-significant differences in posttest balance scores when comparing fatigue effects between the groups (p>0.05).

conclusionsThese results suggested that the fatigue of the quadriceps or calf muscles did not influence standing balance in healthy young adult males. Future longitudinal studies are recommended to further understanding the mechanisms behind localized muscle fatigue effects on standing balance in subjects of different age groups of both genders.
