Short-term effect of delayed-onset muscle soreness on trunk proprioception during force reproduction tasks in a healthy adult population: a crossover study.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of lumbar muscle delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) on the ability of the trunk muscles to reproduce different levels of force.
methodsTwenty healthy adults (10 males and 10 females) were recruited for this study. Force reproduction in trunk extension and flexion was assessed at 50 and 75% of participants' maximal isometric voluntary contraction in flexion and extension before and after a lumbar muscle DOMS protocol. Trunk proprioception was evaluated and compared between these conditions using different variables such as constant errors (CE), absolute errors (AE), variable errors (VE) and time to peak force (TPF). For each variable, repeated measure ANOVAs were conducted.
resultsAE were higher when participants had to reach the target post-DOMS protocol in extension compared to flexion and in the presence of higher demand of force (p = 0.02). For VE, results showed that participants were more variable in extension than in flexion when the required force was higher (p = 0.04). CE variable was higher when participants had to reach the force target in extension compared to flexion under the effect of DOMS (p = 0.02). Results also showed that participants took less time to reach the force target post-DOMS protocol in extension (0.62 ± 0.20 s) and in flexion (0.53 ± 0.19 s) than pre-DOMS protocol in extension (0.55 ± 0.15) and in flexion (0.50 ± 0.20) (p < 0.001).
conclusionLumbar muscle DOMS affects trunk proprioception during force reproduction tasks especially in trunk extension and at higher force.
