History-dependence of muscle slack length in humans: effects of contraction intensity, stretch amplitude, and time.
Article in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The slack length of a relaxed skeletal muscle can be reduced by isometric contraction at short lengths ("contract-short conditioning"). This study explored how the effect of contract-short conditioning on muscle slack length is modified by
