Fatigue-Induced Neuromuscular Responses Differ Between Endurance- and Strength-Trained Males.
Article 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to investigate the effect of training background on neuromuscular responses to submaximal isometric fatiguing contraction. Eleven strength-trained (ST) and 11 endurance-trained (ET) males performed maximal voluntary isometric knee extension contractions (MVIC) and a torque steadiness task at 20% MVIC before and immediately after a submaximal isometric contraction at 30% MVIC performed until task failure. High-density surface EMG was recorded from the vastus lateralis muscle. The EMG root mean square (RMS) amplitude, median frequency (MDF) and muscle fibre conduction velocity (MFCV) were estimated. There was no significant difference in time-to-failure (88.2 ± 34.3 vs. 157.6 ± 126.1 s) or post-fatigue MVIC reduction (19.4% vs. 22.5%) between the ST and ET groups. However, post-fatigue EMG MDF decreased by 10.8% in ST (p < 0.05), but remained unchanged in ET. Furthermore, only the ET group showed a significant decrease in torque steadiness (p < 0.05) and an increase in physiological tremor (8-12 Hz; p < 0.01) during the post-fatigue steadiness task. Throughout the fatiguing task, the mixed effects model revealed decreases in MFCV (p < 0.01) and MDF% (p < 0.001) in ST, with no differences observed in the ET group. EMG RMS amplitude increased similarly in both groups during the fatiguing contraction (p < 0.001). Fatiguing exercise induced comparable reductions in MVIC in ST and ET males. However, fatigue differentially affected the neuromuscular strategies adopted by each group when generating maximal strength and maintaining submaximal torque output, possibly reflecting differences in muscle fibre distribution between the two groups.
