Acute and Long-Term Effects of Stretching with Whole-Body Vibration on Young's Modulus of the Soleus Muscle Measured Using Shear Wave Elastography.

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
The effect of whole-body vibration (WBV) stretching on soleus (SOL) muscle stiffness remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the acute and long-term effects of stretching with WBV on SOL muscle stiffness. This study employed a repeated-measures experimental design evaluating 20 healthy young males. SOL muscle stretching with WBV was performed for 5 min per day (1 min per set, five sets) over 4 weeks, for 4 days a week. Participants stretched the SOL muscle with ankle dorsiflexion in a loaded flexed knee position on a WBV device. Data were obtained to examine acute effects before stretching, immediately after stretching, and at 5, 10, 15, and 20 min. Moreover, data were obtained to examine the long-term effects before stretching, immediately after the completion of the 4-week stretching program, and at 2 and 4 weeks later. SOL muscle stiffness was measured using Young's modulus with shear wave elastography. The acute effect of SOL muscle stretching with WBV persisted for up to 20 min. Additionally, the long-term effect of stretching was better maintained than the acute effect, which was effective for up to 4 weeks (
