Effect of Passive Warm-Up Using High-Voltage Pulsed-Current Electrical Stimulation on Jump Performance in Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Warm-ups optimize athletic performance; however, excessively active warm-ups may induce fatigue. Passive warm-up strategies, including thermotherapy, offer physiological benefits, although their immediate performance effects are unclear. High-voltage pulsed-current (HVPC) electrical stimulation, used in rehabilitation to activate deep muscles, has not been fully explored as a warm-up strategy. This study examined the immediate effects of short-duration HVPC stimulation combined with abdominal hollowing exercises on jump performance. Methods A total of 36 healthy participants were randomly assigned to the HVPC (n = 18) or control (n = 18) group. The HVPC group performed abdominal hollowing exercises with HVPC stimulation for 4 minutes, while the control group performed the exercises without electrical stimulation. The rebound jump (RJ) index, jump height, and ground contact time were measured before and after the intervention. A paired t-test was used to compare the pre- and post-experiment measurements. Results The HVPC group showed a significant increase in jump height (pre 31.95 ± 6.42 vs post 33.64 ± 6.61) (
