Effects of blood flow restriction-augmented baduanjin training on quadriceps strength and postural stability in sedentary young men: a randomized controlled trial.
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
This randomized controlled trial examined whether augmenting traditional Baduanjin (BDJ) exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) enhances quadriceps muscle function and postural stability in sedentary young men. A total of 38 participants were randomly assigned to either BDJ or BFR-BDJ training for 8 weeks. Quadriceps peak torque, total work, and single-leg stance stability under eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions were assessed using isokinetic dynamometry and force-platform measures. Compared with BDJ alone, BFR-BDJ produced significantly greater improvements in quadriceps strength and reductions in sway velocity during eyes-open stance. No between-group differences were observed under eyes-closed conditions, suggesting visual dependence in balance enhancement. No adverse events occurred. These findings indicate that integrating BFR with BDJ provides a low-intensity yet effective training strategy to improve lower-limb neuromuscular performance and functional stability in individuals unable or unwilling to engage in high-load exercise.
