Velocity-Dependent Stress Changes in the Hamstring Muscle-Tendon Complex: A Study Using Human Cadavers.

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
Hamstring strain injuries frequently occur during high-speed running, when muscle tension is markedly increased. Given the viscoelastic properties of muscle, stress during elongation is expected to be velocity-dependent. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of elongation velocity on the stress in individual hamstring muscles. Seven Thiel-embalmed cadaveric lower limbs were used to isolate the biceps femoris long head, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus muscles. Specimens were fixed to a testing apparatus and passively elongated to 10% strain at five elongation velocities (20-300 mm/min), while tensile load and displacement were recorded. Muscle cross-sectional area was measured using ultrasound to calculate stress. A two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance examined the effects of muscle and velocity on stress at 10% strain. The results revealed no significant interaction between muscle and velocity (
