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

The physiological determinants of explosive strength are usually investigated separately. We aimed to quantify the relative contributions of muscle excitation, structural, and mechanical determinants of rapid torque production in the knee extensors in a multi-domain framework. Twenty-four young adults performed ballistic isometric knee extensions. High-density surface electromyographic (HD-sEMG) signals were recorded from vasti lateralis and medialis muscles. Patellar tendon stiffness and muscle architecture were assessed via ultrasound. Impulse and RTD
