1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

[Purpose] To explore the effects of static stretching for 20 s on key hits and subjective fatigue in an eSports-like setting. [Participants and Methods] The participants comprised of 15 healthy males who were instructed to hit a particular key on a computer keyboard using the left ring finger to achieve the maximum number of hits possible over a period of 30 s. Subjective fatigue of the forearm was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) before the experiment and after each trial. Trials 1, 2, and 3 were conducted in succession, with an inter-trial interval of 60 s to ensure a loaded state. Static stretching for 20 s preceded Trial 4. [Results] Over the first three trials, the number of key hits in the first 10 s gradually decreased, while the feeling of subjective fatigue gradually increased. After stretching, the number of key hits in the first 10 s of Trial 4 was similar to that observed in Trial 1, and there was no increase in subjective fatigue. [Conclusion] Static stretching for 20 s restored the number of key hits for 10 s after stretching to that before the load application and suppressed the increase in subjective fatigue.
