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

The objective was to test the measurements association between tensiomyography (TMG) and shear wave elastography (SWE) when evaluating the skeletal muscle stiffness of healthy subjects. The secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of superficial non-muscular tissues thickness on the measurements. A cross-sectional study was conducted with adults who are asymptomatic and had no previous history of musculoskeletal conditions. The vastus lateralis (VL) and biceps femoris (BF) muscle contraction was tested using TMG and SWE. The TMG parameters included time of contraction (Tc), sustain time (Ts), relaxation time (Tr), delay time (Td), and maximal displacement (Dm). The skin, subcutaneous fat, and fascia thicknesses were investigated using ultrasound imaging. A total of 25 participants were enrolled in the study. Six participants were females (24%). The mean age (SD) was 26.5 years (4.7). There was a statistically significant difference (
