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
Introduction: Investigation of the eccentric quasi-isometric (EQI) resistance exercise has started in recent years. However, the biomechanical characteristics and fatigue effects of EQI muscle actions in the ankle plantar flexors remain unexplored. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical characteristics of plantarflexion EQIs and post-EQI acute fatigue between two different loading intensities. Methods: Twenty regularly physically active participants (9 men, 11 women) completed 3 sets comprising of a single EQI muscle contraction at 75% and 90% (one intensity for each leg in a random order) of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) on an isokinetic dynamometer. Outcome variables included total contraction time, torque impulse, angular velocities and range of motion during EQI muscle actions, as well as pre- and post-contraction MVIC measures. Results: The analysis indicated no statistically significant effect of EQI muscle-action on MVIC torque (main effect of time: p = 0.636). There were also no statistically significant differences between EQI muscle actions performed at 75% and 90% MVIC regarding angular velocity (p = 0.244). However, executing EQI muscle contraction at 75% MVIC resulted in statistically significantly larger total contraction time, total torque impulse, and range of motion (p < 0.001) compared to EQI at 90% MVIC. Discussion: These findings suggest that performing EQI contractions at 75% MVIC may be more effective for generating greater mechanical stimulus without inducing significant acute fatigue.
