Association between the phase angle and muscle-tendon complex function in Japanese athletes: a comparative study.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
[Purpose] In this study, we investigated the association between the phase angle and the muscle-tendon complex in Japanese athletes and the effects of aging on this association. [Participants and Methods] The study included 61 adult male high school soccer players. Body composition was evaluated using an analyzer, and grip strength and rebound jump index were measured to evaluate muscle-tendon complex function. Study participants were categorized into two groups, and statistical analyses were performed for intergroup comparison of outcomes and to determine the correlation between the phase angle and muscle-tendon complex function. [Results] We observed significant intergroup differences in the phase angle, total body muscle mass, grip strength, and rebound jump index. Additionally, we observed a significant positive correlation between the phase angle and grip strength in adult soccer players. [Conclusion] Our results showed a correlation between the phase angle and muscle-tendon complex function in mature adult athletes but not in high school athletes. These findings suggest that the phase angle may serve as an indicator of muscle quality and overall physical condition in adult athletes. Further research is warranted to investigate the association between the phase angle and other performance measures to gain a better understanding of soccer players' athletic abilities.
