Changes in the Infrared Thermographic Response of the Triceps Suralis Muscle During Ankle Flexion-Extension Until Exhaustion in Healthy Adults.

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
backgroundInfrared thermography and acute muscle fatigue are often correlated in sports medicine for assessing muscle health during and after exercise, but there are no known studies describing the response throughout exercise; therefore, this study aims to observe the variation in skin temperature (Tsk) during the execution of a maximal muscle fatigue protocol using concentric exercises in the triceps suralis.
methodsAn open cross-sectional descriptive observational study of the posterior region of the leg (triceps suralis) was performed using 98 healthy subjects. Volunteers were subjected to a maximal fatigue protocol, with thermographic images analyzed at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% cumulative maximal fatigue.
resultsResults showed a significant difference in time (
conclusionsThe results observed in this study show that infrared thermography is a valid tool for the measurement, analysis, and quantification of the tissue metabolic response of the muscular system, pre, during, and after exercise. Therefore, we believe that, for future studies, it would be interesting to find relationships between Tsk variations and other performance and metabolic variables. The focus on a single muscle and not directly measuring muscle activity are two limitations of this study.
