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

Muscle-tendon power output is commonly assessed in the laboratory through the work loop, a paired analysis of muscle force and length during a cyclic task. Work-loop analysis of muscle-tendon function in out-of-lab conditions has been elusive due to methodological limitations. In this work, we combined kinetic and kinematic measures from shear wave tensiometry and inertial measurement units, respectively, to establish a wearable system for estimating work and power output from the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles during outdoor locomotion. Across 11 healthy young adults, we amassed 4777 strides of walking on slopes from -10° to +10°. Results showed that soleus work scales with incline, while gastrocnemius work is relatively insensitive to incline. These findings agree with previous results from laboratory-based studies while expanding technological capabilities by enabling wearable analysis of muscle-tendon kinetics. Applying this system in additional settings and activities could improve biomechanical knowledge and evaluation of protocols in scenarios such as rehabilitation, device design, athletics, and military training.
