The effects of resistance exercise snacks via a mobile health app on musculoskeletal strength in sedentary young women: a randomized controlled trial.

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
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of an eight-week Exercise Snacks (ES) program based on a mobile app on musculoskeletal strength in sedentary young women. Methods: Sixty sedentary young women were randomly assigned to the ES group (n=30) or the control group (n=30). Participants in the ES group completed an eight-week exercise program with 75 minutes per week. Outcome measures before and after intervention included maximal strength (peak torque, maximal force output), explosive strength (standing long jump), and muscular endurance (total work at 180°/s, bodyweight squats to failure). We used two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) (time × group) with Bonferroni Results: Significant group × time interactions were observed for all outcomes (p < 0.05). In the ES group, peak torque at 60°/s increased from 115.68 ± 33.92 N·m to 128.40 ± 36.88 N·m, while the control group showed a change from 116.76 ± 30.32 N·m to 118.85 ± 30.20 N·m (p = 0.011, Conclusions: 75 minutes of resistance exercise snacks per week is an effective strategy for promoting musculoskeletal strength in sedentary women. Further studies should explore the underlying physiological mechanisms.
