High Mental Fatigue Magnitude Generates Greater Impaired Resistance Exercise Performance Than Moderate Mental Fatigue Magnitude in Trained Adults.
Trial report in European journal of sport science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mental fatigue (MF) has been widely investigated in resistance exercise (RE). However, the results remain inconsistent, likely due to variability in the cognitive load across studies and, most importantly, the lack of individualized assessments of self-reported MF levels among participants before initiating the RE session. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the acute effect of different levels of MF induced by prior cognitive effort on the subsequent number of repetitions performed during an RE session. In a crossover trial, 20 participants were randomly assigned to three experimental conditions: a control and two mentally fatiguing conditions. In the MF conditions, the participants performed a computerized Stroop word-color (ST) task until reaching 40 mm (moderate MF) and 80 mm (high MF) on the visual analog scale for MF. Following all three conditions, participants completed an RE session consisting of six sets of half back-squat performed to muscle failure with a fixed load of ∼45% 1RM (1.0 m.s
