Evaluation of forces produced by therapeutic elastic resistance bands of various lengths and stiffnesses: a biomechanical study for clinical application.

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
Introduction: Elastic resistance bands (ERBs) are commonly incorporated into canine and human strengthening exercises to restore muscle strength during rehabilitation; however, there is limited published quantitative data regarding force production under conditions used in veterinary medicine. The objective of this study was to quantify the tensile forces produced by ERBs of different stiffnesses and lengths at various levels of elongation to generate specific guidelines for rehabilitation prescription of canine patients. We hypothesized that greater tensile forces would be generated by using stiffer ERBs, shorter resting lengths and greater elongation lengths. Methods: Six color-coded ERBs (THERABAND Results and discussion: Forces increased linearly with elongation and ERB stiffness 26 (indicated by color of the band), with
