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

purposeWhether stretch exercise improves muscle anisotropy in relation to intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT) is unclear. This study aimed to compare the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of the quadriceps before and after stretching and to investigate correlations between the magnitudes of changes and IntraMAT ratios.

methodsTwenty young males were included. Single axial DTI and T1-weighted imaging of the right mid-thigh region were conducted before and after rest and stretching. Individual quadriceps were segmented, λ

resultsThere was a significant interventions-by-time interaction effect in the λ

conclusionStretching the quadriceps acutely decreased λ
