Sex-specific characteristics of the trunk muscle behaviors in an asymptomatic adult cohort.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe trunk muscles play an important role in generating motion and maintaining posture stability. We aimed to investigate the sex-dependent differences in the three-dimensional isometric and isokinetic trunk muscle strength.
methodsWe included 122 asymptomatic participants (61 males and 61 females) aged from 20 to 35 years and used the BioniX Sim3 Pro device to measure the three-dimensional isometric and isokinetic trunk muscle strength.
resultsMales displayed greater absolute isometric trunk torques than females (P < 0.05), which vanished after normalized to body weight (P > 0.05). The isometric torque was greatest during extension, then during flexion, lateral bending came next and axial rotation came least (P < 0.05). During isokinetic movements at 15°/s, males in contrast displayed lower trunk torques than females in each direction, both before and after normalized to body weight (P < 0.05). The isokinetic trunk torque decreased with an increasing velocity from 15°/s to 45°/s (P < 0.05), which showed no significant difference between 45°/s and 75°/s (P > 0.05). The isokinetic trunk torque was greatest during extension, then during flexion, lateral bending and then during axial rotation when moving at 15°/s (P < 0.05), and this sequence changed during movements at 45°/s and 75°/s.
conclusionsWe created a database concerning the isometric and isokinetic trunk torques in an asymptomatic adult cohort. The results could be provided as physiological references in the future for comparison between subjects with and without trunk muscle impairments.
