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

Oxygen delivery and utilization to working muscle(s) are essential for sustained exercise performance. Higher contractile loads can occlude intramuscular blood vessels, limiting oxygen perfusion, while lighter loads minimize occlusion and allow perfusion. This study explored how external load impacted relative muscle endurance, work capacity, and muscle oxygenation in free-flow and cuff-occluded states to estimate the load at which a muscle occludes itself. Twenty-nine participants (10 untrained (UT), 9 endurance-trained (ET), 10 resistance-trained (RT); 14 females, 15 males) completed repetitions to task failure at 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, and 80% of their unilateral knee-extension 1RM in free-flow and cuff-occluded states, with muscle oxygenation (SmO
