Effects of ischemic preconditioning on lower-limb anaerobic performance and neuromuscular adaptations.
Trial report in PeerJ, 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
Background: This study examined whether ischemic preconditioning (IPC) improves lower-limb anaerobic performance and neuromuscular function in female athletes. Methods: Twenty-two female second-level athletes were randomly assigned to an IPC or sham group in a single-blind, parallel design. Participants received once-daily IPC (220 mmHg, 4 × 5-min ischemia/5-min reperfusion) or sham intervention for seven days. Before and after the intervention, we measured 30-s Wingate performance, heart rate, blood lactate, surface electromyography of the lower-limb muscles, and oxyhemoglobin (HbO) in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). A 2 (group: IPC Results: Compared with sham, IPC induced greater increases in average power and total work ( Conclusion: Seven days of IPC induced a modest enhancement in lower-limb anaerobic performance in female athletes without substantially altering electromyography, heart rate, blood lactate responses, or cortical oxygenation levels. IPC may be a practical, safe, and effective non-pharmacological strategy to support training preparation in competitive athletes.
