Sex Differences in Neuromuscular Adaptations Following 12 Weeks of Kettlebell Swing Training.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are sex differences in strength, power, and muscular endurance gains following a 12-week kettlebell swing protocol. Twenty-eight men (29.4 ± 7.3 years; 176.4 ± 6.2 cm; 80.1 ± 11.0 kg; 146.0 ± 22.3 kg in deadlift; 1.8 ± 0.2 kg/body mass deadlift relative strength) and 25 women (32.3 ± 5.5 years; 162.5 ± 7.5 cm; 66.2 ± 9.7 kg; 92.4 ± 17.3 kg in deadlift; 1.4 ± 0.2 kg/body mass deadlift relative strength) participated in this study. Measures of strength in the deadlift, power in the countermovement jump, muscular endurance in the deadlift, and workout of the day (WOD) were obtained before and following six and 12-week time points. Both sexes showed pre- to post-test differences in strength (p < 0.001; one repetition maximum (1RM) improvement of 12.6% for men and 11.7% for women), power (p < 0.001; jump height improvement of 12.9% for men and 6.8% for women), and muscular endurance deadlift test (p < 0.001; improvement in deadlift repetitions of 24.5% for men and 29.2 for women), and only men improved performance in DT WOD (p < 0.001; WOD improvement of 21.3% for men and 1.3% for women). Furthermore, men had greater gains in the power test (p = 0.02) and in the DT WOD endurance test (p = 0.04). Kettlebell training appears to be an effective strategy for increasing strength, power, and endurance in both men and women, but considering the lower responses in power and DT WOD, other strategies should also be considered to optimize women's results in these tests.
