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

purposeThe goal of this paper was to determine if sports participation influences torque control differently for adolescent boys and young men during a slow ramp task.

methodsTwenty-one adolescent boys (11 athletes) and 31 young men (16 athletes) performed a slow ramp increase in plantar flexion torque from 0 to maximum. We quantified torque control as the coefficient of variation (CV) of torque during the ramp and quantified the Achilles tendon mechanical properties using ultrasonography.

resultsRelative to adolescent boys, young men were taller, heavier, stronger, and had a longer and stiffer Achilles tendon. However, these characteristics were not different between athletes and non-athletes in adolescent boys. For the CV of torque, there was a significant interaction with sports participation, indicating that only adolescent boys who were non-athletes had greater variability than young men. The CV of torque of all participants was predicted from the maximum torque and torque oscillations from 1 to 2 Hz, whereas the CV of torque for adolescent boys was predicted only from torque oscillations from 1 to 2 Hz.

conclusionThese findings suggested that adolescent boys who participate in sports exhibited lower torque variability during a slow ramp task, which was not explained by differences in Achilles tendon properties or strength.
