Effects of different fatigue locations on upper body kinematics and inter-joint coordination in a repetitive pointing task.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Studies have shown that muscle fatigue can lead to posture, joint angle, inter-joint coordination and variability alterations. However, the three-dimensional kinematic effects of localized muscular fatigue on a multijoint movement remain unclear. Healthy young adults (N = 17, 10 females) performed a standing repetitive pointing task when they were non-fatigued, and after localized muscle fatigue was induced at the elbow, the shoulder, and the trunk using isometric protocols performed until exhaustion. Joint angles and angular standard deviation (SD) of trunk, shoulder and elbow, and continuous relative phase (CRP) and CRP SD between trunk and shoulder, and shoulder and elbow were computed and compared between fatigue conditions. Results showed that trunk lateral flexion SD increased after fatigue of the elbow (0.1°, p = 0.04), shoulder (0.1°, p = 0.04) and trunk (0.1°, p<0.01). However, fatigue at different muscles brought different kinematic changes. Shoulder fatigue induced the greatest overall changes, with angular changes at all three joints. Trunk fatigue increased the shoulder horizontal abduction SD, elbow flexion SD and trunk-shoulder CRP. Elbow fatigue induced angular changes at trunk, shoulder and elbow, but did not affect CRP or CRP SD. This study highlights the crucial role of trunk variability in compensating for localized muscle fatigue during a repetitive upper limb task performed while standing.
