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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This study examined potential differences in strength, muscle morphology, and motor unit (MU) behavior of the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) between normal-fat (NF) and over-fat (OF) males. Methods: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessed percent body fat (%BF). Ultrasonography determined muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), echo intensity (EI), and subcutaneous fat (sFAT). MU behavior was assessed during isometric muscle actions at 50% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) by analyzing the Results: %BF was greater for OF (25.70% ​± ​5.40%) than NF (16.50% ​± ​2.20%; Conclusion: Maximal strength, muscle size, and MU recruitment and firing rate patterns for a non-weight bearing muscle differed between normal-fat and over-fat males.
