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

Outdoor fitness equipment (OFE) are strength training installations comparable to those found in indoor gyms but are located outdoors with greater accessibility. However, the scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness remains limited. The objective of this study was to analyze and compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity of upper limb muscle groups during the use of a traditional seated chest press (SCP) machine, a classic OFE SCP (OFE-SCP), and a new OFE-SCP featuring a load selector system (BIOFIT-SCP). The sample was composed of 34 active young men. EMG activity of five muscle groups was analyzed: the anterior deltoid (AD), the clavicular (CP) and sternal (SP) heads of the pectoralis major, and the lateral (LHTB) and long heads of the triceps brachii (LongHTB), under different intensities. The OFE-SCP showed significantly lower EMG activity compared with the SCP and BIOFIT-SCP in all muscles and phases (
