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

Crossover fatigability (CF) refers to the phenomenon in which fatigability is observed in the non-exercised homologous muscle. As the debate about the existence of CF and its underlying mechanisms is still ongoing and may be protocol-dependent, our study investigated whether CF can be evoked using fast repetitive movements at maximal speed, which have been shown to induce fatigability on the supraspinal level. These rapidly repeating movements induce motor slowing, an involuntary decrease in movement speed. We evoke fatigability through maximal speed finger tapping with one hand and subsequently assessed fast finger tapping performance of the contralateral hand. In two independent cohorts (
