Effects of bilateral low-load resistance training with blood-flow restriction on post-activation performance enhancement in male collegiate athletes.
Trial report in PeerJ, 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
Background: While the effects of blood-flow restriction (BFR) training on various performance outcomes have been widely studied, the combination of BFR with low-load (LL) resistance training for post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE), particularly in vertical jump performance, has not been fully explored. This study aimed to investigate whether combining BFR with LL resistance training can enhance vertical jump performance in male collegiate athletes. Methods: Fifteen male strength trainers (mean ± standard deviation (SD): age 21.7 ± 1.4 years, body mass 77.2 ± 6.3 kg, and height 179.1 ± 5.7) with at least two years of resistance training experience participated in three experimental trials using a randomized crossover design with 72-hour intervals: (a) low-load resistance exercise at 30% one repetition maximum (1RM) back squat combined with BFR for four sets of 15 repetitions (BFR+LL); (b) low-load resistance exercise without BFR for 4 sets of 15 repetitions (LL); and (c) a control condition involving passive rest (CON). Countermovement jump (CMJ) performance , including vertical jump height (VJH), relative peak power output (RPP), force impulse (FI), and rate of force development (RFD), was assessed at baseline, immediately after, and at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-minutes post-protocol. Both peak and mean CMJ were measured to evaluate performance changes. Results: The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant condition × time interactions ( Conclusion: The study suggests that BFR+LL resistance training may enhance acute vertical jump performance 12 minutes post-exercise, despite an initial decline in performance immediately following the protocol.
