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.

Abstract

objectiveScapular dyskinesis is one of the causes of shoulder disorders and involves muscle weakness in the serratus anterior. This study investigated whether motor unit (MU) recruitment and firing property, which are important for muscle exertion, have altered in serratus anterior of the individuals with scapular dyskinesis.

methodsAsymptomatic adults with (SD) and without (control) scapular dyskinesis were analyzed. Surface electromyography (sEMG) waveforms were collected at submaximal voluntary contraction of the serratus anterior. The sEMG waveform was decomposed into MU action potential amplitude (MUAP

resultsHigh-threshold MUAP

conclusionsIndividuals with scapular dyskinesis exhibit altered MU recruitment properties and lower firing rates of the serratus anterior; this may be detrimental to muscle performance. Thus, it may be necessary to improve the neural drive of the serratus anterior when correcting scapular dyskinesis.
