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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeNeuromuscular fatigability is task-dependent, but the influence of the contraction pattern on neuromuscular fatigability is largely unknown. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate if neuromuscular fatigability is affected by the contraction pattern of exhausting isometric exercises.

methodsThirteen participants sustained a plantar flexors MVC for 1 min (MVC

resultsThe INT resulted in greater exercise duration and torque-time integral than CON and VAR. MVC similarly decreased after all exercises due to neural and muscular impairments. The torque loss during the MVC

conclusionINT, CON and VAR exercises, performed with identical mean torque and until exhaustion, led to a similar neuromuscular fatigability. When the mean torque is matched among exercises, the contraction pattern does not influence the extent of neuromuscular fatigability, assessed through the maximal torque production and sustainability. The present findings are crucial to consider for the management of neuromuscular fatigability in physical conditioning in both athletes and patients.
