Frequency-Dependent Reaction of the Triceps Surae Muscle of the Mouse During Electromyostimulation.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The difference in the efficacy of altered stimulation parameters in whole-body-electromyostimulation training (WB-EMS) has hardly been examined. Higher impulse frequencies (>50 Hz) might be most adequate for strength gains because of the force frequency relationship (FFR), which describes a greater force production by increasing the applied frequency. Frequencies below this value, however, also seem to have positive influences on muscle strength increases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze possible muscle length changes to different stimulation frequencies of the dissected mouse triceps surae muscle. A bending rod transducer was used to measure and compare changes in muscle lengths at different frequencies in relation to the initial length in the prepared muscle. We found significant differences between the muscle shortening at different frequencies (
