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

purposeTo investigate the effects of age and sex in performance fatigability profile after a ramp incremental (RI) test.

methodsOlder females (n = 13; 66 ± 5 yrs) and males (n = 13; 68 ± 4 yrs), and young females (n = 11; 25 ± 5 yrs) and males (n = 12; 25 ± 4 yrs) performed a RI test immediately preceded and followed by performance fatigability assessments that included: knee-extension isometric maximal voluntary contraction (IMVC) and femoral nerve electrical stimuli during and after the IMVC to calculate voluntary activation (VA) and contractile function (e.g., potentiated doublets at 10 and 100 Hz, and single twitches). Maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O

resultsYoung females and males showed greater V̇O

conclusionContractile function was more impaired in young than older participants, whereas males showed greater decline in VA than females. There was no combined effect of age and sex in performance fatigability responses.
