Physical and cognitive exertion do not influence feedforward activation of the trunk muscles: a randomized crossover trial.
Trial report in Experimental brain research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Fatigue arises during everyday activities, diminishes movement performance, and increases injury risk. Physical (PE) and cognitive exertion (CE) can induce similar feelings of fatigue, but it is not clear whether these also similarly affect movement performance. Therefore, this study examined the influence of PE and CE on anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) of trunk muscles, which are feedforward mechanisms that contribute to motor control and controlled movement. Rapid arm movement tasks (RAM) were used to induce APAs of the trunk muscles prior and following three experimental conditions in 20 healthy adults: seated rest without exertion (NE), a combined isometric modified Biering-Sörensen and static abdominal curl to induce PE, and a modified incongruent Stroop colour-word task to induce CE. Fatigue was assessed using self-reported measures, and APA onset latencies of the trunk muscles with surface electromyography. Statistical analyses revealed that neither PE nor CE influence APAs of the trunk. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the influence of fatigue on movement performance might not be through altered motor control, but rather by reduced motivation. However, the possibility that fatigue might influence other mechanisms which contribute to trunk motor control, such as APA amplitude and variability, cannot be excluded and need further examination.
