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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe objective of the current study was to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the briefer time to failure of a submaximal contraction (C2) when performed 60 min after a similar contraction (C1), and the influence of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) applied over the motor cortex on these mechanisms.

methodsIn two sessions, ten adults sustained two isometric contractions (35% of maximum) to failure with the abductor pollicis brevis (APB). Before C2, either a-tDCS or sham stimulation was applied over the motor cortex. Fatigue-related changes in Hoffmann (H) and long-latency (LLR) reflexes, motor-evoked potential (MEP) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation and associated silent period (SP), maximal motor wave (M

resultsThe results indicate that regardless of session, the time to failure was briefer (- 13%, p < 0.05) for C2 than C1, with no a-tDCS effect. During C1, MEP amplitude, SP duration and LLR amplitude increased, H-reflex amplitude did not change, and M

conclusionsThe results of the current study indicate that a-tDCS did not influence corticospinal excitability and time to failure of C2 when performed with the APB. These observations may reflect a peripheral origin of the briefer C2 time to failure in the APB.
