Analysis and study on biomarkers of local muscle fatigue caused by repetitive lifting task.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWork-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) show a rapid growth trend. It has brought a huge economic burden to the society and become a serious occupational health problem that needs to be solved urgently. This study aimed to analyze the local muscle response under continuous ergonomic load, screen sensitive fatigue-related biomarkers and provide data support for the early prevention of local muscle damage and the exploration of early warning indicators.
methodsThirteen male college student volunteers were recruited to perform simulated repetitive manual lifting tasks in the laboratory. The lifting task was designed for 4 periods which lasted for 12 min in each, and then paused for 3 min for sampling. Local muscle fatigue is assesed by the Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and the Joint analysis of sEMG spectrum and amplitude (JASA). Elbow venous blood was collected and 14 kinds of biomarkers were analyzed, which included Metabolic markers Ammonia (AMM), Lactic acid (LAC), Creatine kinase (CK), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), C-telopeptide of collagen I and II (CTX-I, CTX-II) and Calcium ion (Ca
