Are There Sex Differences in Wrist Velocity and Forearm Muscle Activity When Performing Identical Hand-Intensive Work Tasks?

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
Among workers performing hand-intensive tasks, musculoskeletal disorders in the upper extremities are more frequent in women than in men. However, risk assessments are generally not sex-specific, and it is not known whether exposures in regular work differ between females and males. The aim of this study was to compare measured wrist joint velocity and muscle activity between men and women performing identical tasks. Participants (28 female-male pairs) performed one of eighteen hand-intensive on-site tasks. Wrist velocity was measured using inertial units. Forearm muscle activity was measured via surface electromyography and normalized to maximal voluntary electrical activation (MVE). The 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles and time in muscle recovery (< 0.5 %MVE) were computed. Between-sex differences were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Wrist angular velocities did not significantly differ between sexes in any percentile (all
