Isometric-based test improves EMG-threshold determination in boys vs. men.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundChildren have been hypothesized to utilize higher-threshold (type-II) motor units (MUs) to a lesser extent than adults. Two recent studies, using a cycling-based EMG-threshold (EMG PURPOSE: Determine whether an IICT protocol would enhance EMG
methods18 boys and 21 men completed one-repetition-maximum (1RM) isometric knee-extension test. The IICT protocol followed, commencing at 25%1RM and comprising five isometric contractions per load, incremented by ~ 3%1RM to exhaustion. Vastus lateralis surface EMG was recorded and EMG
resultsEMG
conclusionsWith the boys' detection rate nearly on par with the men's, the IICT protocol appears to overcome much of the intensity limitation of cycling-based protocols and provide a more sensitive EMG
