Agreement-Based Validation of ISOMETRO for Upper-Limb Isometric Tension Measurements.

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
Muscular fitness is a key component of health and athletic performance, and isometric strength is a widely used indicator. This study reports an agreement-based validation of the Isometric Strength Measurement Device (ISOMETRO) for upper-limb isometric tension measurements under controlled laboratory conditions. Twenty-one healthy young amateur rock climbers (11 men and 10 women) performed four upper-limb tensile tests (shoulder adduction at 90°, shoulder adduction at 60°, shoulder extension at 90°, and elbow extension at 90°). Agreement with an independent criterion device was evaluated using a force plate, while a series-connected load cell was used as an internal consistency check of the measurement chain. Linear mixed-effects models showed that ISOMETRO strongly predicted force plate values (β = 0.999, SE = 0.002,
