1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of the study is to assess the effect of a running fatigue protocol on static (SB) and dynamic balance (DB) abilities using Wii balance board (WBB) and Y-balance (YB) tests, respectively, in young male recreational athletes. MATERIALS AND

methodsParticipants were randomized into control and experimental groups. They were examined on static and dynamic balance (pre- & post-tests). Then, the experimental group underwent a fatigue protocol, in which speed and incline increased one unit for each passing minute, and stopped when rate of perceived exertion level reached ≥ 18, and the plasma lactate level differed from the baseline by ≥ 4mmol/L.

resultsForty male athletes aged between 18-22 years old participated with 20 participants in each group. Between groups analysis showed that the control group scored significantly higher score on YB, however, the experimental group scored significantly lower on WBB in all conditions. Regression analysis revealed that, for every one unit increase in SB score, plasma lactate levels decrease by 0.051 (5.1%).

conclusionsReduced performance on both static and dynamic balance tests after a treadmill running fatigue protocol was observed in recreational young male athletes, compared to a randomly-assigned control group of their peers.
