Biomechanical assessment of dressage Spanish horses through accelerometry and the immediate effects of a single capacitive resistive electrical transfer session.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCapacitive resistive electrical transfer (CRET) is a non-invasive electromagnetic diathermic technique. The effect of its application 24 h prior to exercise, compared to a sham application performed with the device off, was evaluated in 8 Spanish Purebred dressage stallions. CRET was applied bilaterally on the neck, back, and croup. The horses wore an accelerometer fixed on the sternal area during a dressage test, and spatiotemporal stride parameters, total and dorsoventral (DVAA), longitudinal (LAA), and mediolateral accelerometric activities, as well as dorsoventral displacement, were recorded.
resultsWalking was the gait least affected by CRET application, and only a longer stride length (SL) compared to sham was found in the medium walk. Velocity was greater in the working, medium, and extended trot after CRET application compared to sham, this change being attributed to a longer SL without significant changes in stride frequency (SF). However, in collected trot, CRET induced a reduction in SL and LAA, together with an increase in DVAA. After CRET application, a decrease in SL and LAA and an increase in DVAA were found both in passage and piaffe. Additionally, velocity was reduced in passage. Minor changes were observed with CRET application in the working canter, whereas greater velocity, SF, SL, and LAA were detected in the extended canter.
conclusionsThe application of CRET 24 h before a dressage test improves accelerometric characteristics, reflecting better collection in collected gaits and better extension in extended gaits.
