Modeling implications of the relationship between active and passive skeletal muscle mechanical properties.
Article in Journal of biomechanics, 2025. 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
It is challenging to obtain in vivo or in situ experimental data from human muscles due to the invasive nature of such measurements. As a result, many investigations of human performance, surgery, or skeletal adaptation are necessarily based on musculoskeletal models. The utility of such models will depend on the question being asked and the extent to which the model is sufficiently accurate to address that question. In this perspective article, we take advantage of unique intraoperative access to the human gracilis muscle and make direct comparisons between commonly modeled parameters and those measured from the human gracilis. We directly compare muscle-tendon unit (MTU) length, optimal fiber length, and tendon slack length. Our results demonstrate that measured and modeled length parameters differ greatly. This is primarily due to the fact that slack muscle length and optimal muscle length differ greatly for the human gracilis and that models assume they are the same length.
