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

purposeProlonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) occurs following both dynamic and static fatiguing tasks, but it has been assessed predominately using measures of isometric torque. However, it is unknown whether PLFFD induced during dynamic tasks is adequately characterized by isometric torque, which excludes velocity and power. The purpose of this study was to compare PLFFD assessed using isometric torque and isotonic power following a concentric fatiguing task.

methodsYoung (18-31 years) males (n = 9) and females (n = 4) performed isotonic plantar flexion contractions until a  ~ 75% reduction in peak power. Isotonic and isometric contractions were electrically evoked at 10 Hz and 50 Hz via tibial nerve stimulation. Isotonic and isometric PLFFD was assessed as the ratio of 10 to 50 Hz for power and torque, respectively. Recovery was assessed immediately, and at 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 30 min after task termination.

resultsRelative to baseline, 10:50 Hz ratio assessed using isotonic power was reduced more than isometric torque (30 min 41 ± 17 vs. 25 ± 12% reduction, p = 0.001); however, both contraction modes displayed similar trajectories throughout recovery (p = 0.906). The larger reduction in isotonic 10:50 Hz ratio was due to greater impairments in 10 Hz power compared to 10 Hz isometric torque (30 min 38 ± 20 vs. 21 ± 11% reduction, p < 0.001).

conclusionThe similar trajectories of 10:50 Hz ratios throughout recovery indicate that PLFFD can be adequately characterized using either isometric torque or isotonic power.
