The effect of 6-day fasting on physical performance and neuromuscular control in healthy men.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 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
Understanding physical functioning during fasting is critical for both survival and everyday performance. Thus, the main aim of the present study was to determine the effects of a 6-day fasting period on fine motor skills, drop jump (DJ) performance, and neuromuscular properties of the ankle plantar flexors in healthy, physically inactive men. Non-obese men (n = 14) completed a 6-day fast followed by 7 days of habitual diet. Changes in mood state, fine motor skills, reflexes (V-wave, H-wave and M-wave), involuntary muscle torque, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), central activation ratio (CAR) during MVC, and DJ performance were measured. Fasting had no effect on physical performance (i.e., fine motor skills and DJ) and MVC; however, it increased subjective perceived fatigue, and reduced the H
