Neuromuscular Responses to Unilateral and Bilateral Execution of Eccentric Exercises: A Multidimensional sEMG Study.

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
Hamstring injuries are frequent in sports, often linked to eccentric overloading during sprinting. While eccentric strengthening, like Nordic curls and hip extensions, is common, the impact of exercise symmetry (unilateral vs. bilateral) on neuromuscular control remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate regional/task-specific neuromuscular strategies during unilateral and bilateral eccentric loading of the same exercises. Twenty-five healthy and physically active young men (age: 24.52 ± 3.82 years; height: 175.53 ± 5.44 cm; weight: 72.06 ± 7.44 kg) were recruited based on physical activity screening, with the exclusion criteria including recent lower limb injuries. Participants performed unilateral and bilateral curls and extensions with surface electromyography on hamstrings, gluteus maximus, and trunk stabilisers. Parameters like root mean square and median frequency were extracted and statistically compared. Unilateral execution generally elicited higher muscle activation, particularly in middle hamstring regions (30.65% to 38.38% in RMS,
