Acute effects of quadriceps muscle versus tendon prolonged local vibration on force production capacities and central nervous system excitability.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2022. 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
purposeThe present study aimed to directly compare the effects of 30 min muscle (VIB
methodsBefore (PRE) and immediately after (POST) LV applied to the quadriceps muscle or its tendon, we investigated MVIC and RTD (STUDY #1; n = 20) or vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM) and rectus femoris (RF) electromyography responses to thoracic electrical stimulation (TMEPs; motoneuron excitability) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (MEPs; corticospinal excitability) (STUDY #2; n = 17). MEP/TMEP ratios were further calculated to quantify changes in cortical excitability.
resultsMVIC decreased at POST (P = 0.017) without any difference between VIB
conclusionThe present results suggest that prolonged muscle and tendon LV are similarly effective in modulating central nervous system excitability and decreasing maximal force. Yet, altered explosive performance after tendon but not muscle LV suggests greater neural alterations when tendons are vibrated.
