The Effect of Three Work-Equivalent Whole-Body Vibration Protocols on Acute Neuromuscular Performance in Highly Trained Adolescent Soccer Players.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 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
objectivesThe study compared acute neuromuscular responses to three work-equivalent whole-body vibration (WBV) protocols in highly trained adolescent soccer players.
methodsThirteen male soccer players (16.2 ± 0.3 years, BMI = 24.5 ± 1.5 kg/m2) completed a counterbalanced crossover study, performing on separate visits three WBV protocols: (P1) 1 x 3 min, (P2) 3 x 1 min, and (P3) 6 x 30 s. Knee extension maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and vastus lateralis EMG (root-mean-square, RMS) were measured at baseline and at 2, 5, and 15 min post-WBV, followed by two CMJ trials at baseline (best retained) and one CMJ trial post-WBV. Time-to-peak torque (TPT), rate of torque development (RTD), and neuromuscular efficiency (NME) were also evaluated.
resultsNo significant main effects of protocol or protocol-by-time interactions were observed across outcomes. Non-protocol effects were observed for EMGRMS normalized to baseline (%) (time, period, and carryover) and for carryover in RFD0-80 and CMJ power. Estimated effects were small, with wide confidence intervals.
conclusionsAmong highly trained adolescent soccer players, a 3-min, work-equivalent WBV exposure administered as 1 x 3 min, 3 x 1 min, or 6 x 30 s did not produce clear protocol-dependent changes in knee extensor isometric performance, neuromuscular indices, or CMJ performance within 2-15 min post-intervention. Any effects appear minimal relative to inter-individual variability.
