Evaluation of fatigue progression during overhead tasks and the effects of exoskeleton assistance.
Article in Wearable technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Upper-limb occupational exoskeletons reduce injuries during overhead work. Previous studies focused on muscle activation with and without exoskeletons, but their impact on shoulder fatigue remains unclear. Additionally, no studies have explored how exoskeleton support levels affect fatigue. This study investigates the effects of assistive profiles on muscular and cardiovascular fatigue. Electromyographic (EMG) and electrocardiographic signals were collected to compute EMG median frequency (MDF), heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV). Fatigue was assessed using three MDF and HR metrics: relative change (,), slope (,), and intercept (,) of the linear regression. Results showed decreased 64% (
