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

This study compared the responses of arm-cycling during triceps surae neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on torque-time integral (TTI) and neuromuscular fatigue in healthy young adults. Achilles tendon vibration (VIB) (110 Hz) coupled with wide-pulse (WP) (1 ms) NMES (WP + VIB) of triceps surae alone or in combination with arm-cycling exercise (ARM-CYC) was delivered in two separate sessions in a randomised order (n = 22; 20 men; 29.9 ± 4.4 years). NMES intensity was set to elicit 20% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) force. The stimulus pattern was comprised of four sets of 20 repetitions (5 s On and 5 s Off) superimposed to ongoing VIB with a 1-min inter-set interval. Time-torque integral (TTI) was measured for each NMES condition. MVC, voluntary activation level (VAL), peak twitch torque (Peak
