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
purposeThis study examined protocol-specific neuromuscular responses to acute fatigue during countermovement jump (CMJ) performance by comparing jumps performed with arm swing (CMJAS) and without arm swing (CMJNAS).
methodsEighteen physically active male participants (age: 21.4 ± 1.4 years; height: 188.2 ± 5.7 cm; body mass: 80.5 ± 5.4 kg) performed CMJ with and without arm swing on separate days before and after acute fatigue induced by a 30-s Wingate test. Ground reaction forces were collected via force platform, and biomechanical variables were analyzed using Bayesian paired-samples t-tests and repeated-measures ANOVA.
resultsBayesian analyses revealed extreme evidence for pre–post changes in vertical take-off velocity in both CMJAS (BF₁₀=369.74) and CMJNAS (BF₁₀=40.45), accompanied by extreme time×condition interaction evidence (BFincl=6142.38), indicating protocol-dependent modulation of take-off mechanics. Jump height derived from flight time showed extreme evidence in CMJAS (BF₁₀=219.89) and very strong evidence in CMJNAS (BF₁₀=17.48). CMJNAS demonstrated stronger evidence for fatigue-related alterations in relative maximal power (BF₁₀=20.05), peak concentric force (BF₁₀=2.49), and late push-off acceleration (BF₁₀=12.86), whereas corresponding changes in CMJAS were moderate or anecdotal. In contrast, average force, average power, early push-off acceleration, and eccentric braking variables showed little to no evidence for change across conditions.
conclusionCMJ without arm swing is more sensitive to fatigue-induced alterations in lower-limb neuromuscular function, particularly in force–power output and late-phase propulsion. In contrast, CMJ with arm swing preserves global performance through whole-body coordination. These findings underscore the importance of protocol selection when CMJ is used for neuromuscular monitoring and fatigue assessment.
