Intermediate Muscle Length and Tendon Vibration Optimize Corticospinal Excitability During Knee Extensors Local Vibration.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
While local vibration (LV) has been recently proposed as a potential modality for neuromuscular conditioning, no practical recommendations to optimize its effects have been published. Because changes in corticospinal excitability may reflect at which degree the neuromuscular function is modulated during LV exposure, this study investigated the effects of muscle length and vibration site on LV-induced on motor evoked potentials (MEPs) changes. Twenty-one subjects participated in a single session in which MEPs were evoked on the relaxed knee extensors (KE) during three conditions, i.e., no vibration (CON), muscle (VIB
