The Neuromuscular Response to Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Younger and Older Females: A Preliminary Study.
Article in International journal of exercise 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
The aging process is associated with many functional decrements. It is important to consider the additive acute functional decreases that may occur following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). This study aimed to examine the effect of age on muscle damage metrics following EIMD. Ten younger (age=20±2 years, BMI=22.49±3.97 kg/m2) and six older (age=68±2 years, BMI=24.45±2.82 kg/m2) females participated in this study. Participants performed a maximal knee extensor EIMD protocol. Additionally, participants completed various assessments before, immediately after, 24-, 48-, and 72-hours after the EIMD protocol to evaluate the presence of and recovery from muscle damage. Assessments included B-mode ultrasound imaging of the rectus femoris (RF) and vastus lateralis (VL) to assess cross sectional area (CSA) and echo intensity (EI), soreness measures, and neuromuscular assessments (i.e., peak torque [PT] and rapid torque [RT]). A 2×5 ANOVA was used to compare age groups by time for all variables. Significant age × time interactions were found for RT at 200ms and 250ms (
