Cross-education effect of vibration foam rolling on eccentrically damaged muscles.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesPrevious studies showed that vibration foam rolling (VFR) on damaged muscles improves muscle soreness and range of motion (ROM). VFR intervention can also increase the ROM and pain pressure threshold (PPT) in the non-rolling side, known as a cross-education effect. However, this is not clear for the non-rolling side. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the cross-education effects of VFR intervention on ROM, muscle soreness, and PPT in eccentrically damaged muscles.
methodsParticipants were sedentary healthy male volunteers (n=14, 21.4±0.7 y) who performed eccentric exercise of the knee extensors with the dominant leg and received 90-s VFR intervention of the quadriceps at the nondamaged side 48 h after the eccentric exercise. The dependent variables were measured before the exercise (baseline), before (preintervention), and after VFR intervention (postintervention) 48 h after the eccentric exercise. The Bonferroni post hoc test was used to determine the differences between baseline, preintervention, and postintervention.
resultsResults showed that the VFR intervention on the nondamaged side 48 h after the eccentric exercise improved significantly (p<0.05) the knee flexion ROM, muscle soreness at palpation, and PPT compared to baseline.
conclusionVFR intervention on the nondamaged side can recover ROM and muscle soreness in eccentrically damaged muscles.
