Reliability of Standardised High-Intensity Static Stretching on the Hamstrings over Multiple Visits.

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
Static stretching (SS) is commonly used in athletic programs, and the intensity of SS has recently been examined for its effects on range of motion (ROM), strength and passive stiffness. However, the reliability of high-intensity SS across multiple testing sessions has not been investigated. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the reliability of high-intensity SS of the hamstrings across five laboratory visits on ROM, strength, power and passive stiffness. Thirteen physically active males (age: 26 ± 4 years, height: 180 ± 8 cm, body mass: 81 ± 10 Kg) underwent five repeated measures of laboratory SS on an isokinetic dynamometer where point of discomfort (POD) was measured, followed by a 30 s stretch at 120% POD. Across the visits, the pooled intraclass correlation coefficient was good for knee extension ROM (0.82), knee flexion strength (0.81) and passive stiffness (0.81). The ROM achieved to determine the POD before the SS was not different for the five visits (
