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

purposeLow-load blood flow restricted (LLBFR) resistance exercise has been demonstrated to accelerate acute muscle fatigue, but these responses may be dependent upon the protocol used. The purpose of this investigation was to examine fatigue characteristics following acute LLBFR resistance exercise with a 75-repetition (75-rep; 1 × 30, 3 × 15), 3 sets to failure (3×), and 1 set to failure (1×) protocols.

methodsSixteen women randomly performed 75-rep, 3× , and 1× LLBFR protocols consisting of unilateral, submaximal (30% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction; [MVIC]), isokinetic (90°·s

resultsThere were no significant (p = 0.516-0.984) interactions for any of the fatigue characteristics. Collapsed across Conditions however, MVIC torque (21.1%), PTT (11.0%), sEMG AMP (1.9%), and VA (4.6%) decreased across Time (p < 0.001-0.011). There was no change in V

conclusionsDespite differences in set and repetition schemes, all three LLBFR protocols induced comparable decreases in MVIC torque, PTT, sEMG AMP, and VA. The current results highlight the potential efficacy of a single set of LLBFR performed to volitional failure to provoke fatigue responses comparable to multiple set protocols.
