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

purposeThis study investigated whether laser displacement mechanomyography (MMG) could detect acute injury of low back muscles following strenuous eccentric exercise.

methodsSixteen healthy adults (10 females, 6 males, mean ± standard deviation, age 21 ± 2.90 years, BMI 21.63 ± 1.99 kg/m

resultsCompared to pre-exercise control, MVC was lower immediately post-exercise (day 1) and on days 2-3. VAS scores were higher post-exercise (day 1) and from days 2-5. Myoglobin was significantly higher on day 4, whilst creatine kinase was significantly higher on days 4-5. MMG-derived maximum muscle displacement (D

conclusionMMG appears capable of detecting changes in muscle contractile properties associated with an acute bout of low back pain.
