Can Early Fatigue in Leg Muscles After Exercise Cause Postural Instability in Women With Fibromyalgia?
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise-induced lower limb muscle fatigue on postural stability in female patients with fibromyalgia (FMS).
methodThis study included 19 female patients diagnosed with FMS according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria and 19 age-matched healthy controls. Muscle fatigue was induced by chair sit-to-stand (STS) repetitions in all participants. Postural stability was evaluated before and immediately after muscle fatigue test (MFT) in standard bipedal and tandem stances with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC), and in single leg stance with EO using a foot pressure platform.
resultsThe mean number of STS repetitions on MFT was lower in FMS patients (p<0.001). Before MFT, plantar center of pressure (CoP) excursions was greater in FMS patients versus controls in all postures tested except in EO bipedal stance (all p<0.01). Postural sway increased post-MFT in both FMS and control groups in all stances (all p<0.001). Post-MFT increase in postural sway was greater in the FMS group versus controls (all p<0.05).
conclusionLower limb muscle fatigue occurs earlier in FMS patients than in healthy individuals and exacerbates postural stability problems. This indicates the importance of planning tailored exercise programs for these patients.
