How do tendons adapt? Going beyond tissue responses to understand positive adaptation and pathology development: A narrative review.
Review in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05538494 (Short-term Effects on the Patellar Tendon After Low-load Blood-flow Restriction Training Versus High-load Conventional Training. Randomized Clinical Trial.), which is not on this map. Cited by 36 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Understanding how tendons adapt to load is crucial to understanding how training can improve performance, minimise the risk of injury and aid rehabilitation. Adaptation is the positive response of an organism or tissue to benefit its function. In tendons, numerous tissue responses to load have been identified
