Reduced rate of force development under fatigued conditions is associated to the decline in force complexity in adult males.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2024. 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
purposeThis study aimed to verify whether the slowing of muscle contraction quickness, typically observed in states of fatigue, may worsen force control by decreasing the rate with which force fluctuations are modulated. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between rate of force development (RFD), and force fluctuations' magnitude (Coefficient of variation, CoV) and complexity (Approximate Entropy, ApEn; Detrended fluctuation analysis, DFAα).
methodsFourteen participants performed intermittent ballistic isometric contractions of the plantar dorsiflexors at 70% of maximal voluntary force until task failure (under 60% twice).
resultsIndices of RFD (RFD
conclusionThe results suggest that exercise-induced reductions in contraction speed, lead to smoother force complexity and diminished force control due to slower adjustments around the target force. The fatigued state resulted in worsened force producing capacity and overall force control.
