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

Introduction: In individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP), both muscle cross-sectional area and fascicle length are reduced, contributing to decreased muscle strength, muscle shortening velocity and muscle mechanical power output, particularly in the plantarflexor muscles. A proposed mechanism to target increased muscle mechanical power output is to incorporate high velocity training (HVT) in these individuals, to increase fascicle length via sarcomerogenesis. To determine the effects of HVT on changes in MG muscle fascicle length and that impact on changes to MG muscle force-length-velocity-power characteristics in young adults with CP. Methods: 12 young adults with CP (GMFCS I or II, 22.8 ± 6.0 years) were randomly allocated (some crossover) to no training (CP-NT, Results: HVT resulted in a significant increase in fascicle length in CP-T (+1.92 ± 3.21 mm, Discussion: HVT is a feasible training intervention to increase triceps surae muscle fascicle length in individuals with CP. HVT can partially mitigate losses in P
