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
Introduction: Neuromuscular fatigue disrupts rowing technique, yet its multisegmental effects in Traditional fixed-seat rowing remain poorly understood. This study examined the phase-specific impact of fatigue on joint angles, body segment heights, and center of gravity position at the catch and finish phases. Methods: Nineteen elite male Traditional rowers (age: 29.4 ± 7.0 years, height: 182.0 ± 6.1 cm, body mass: 78.2 ± 8.0 kg) competing in the ACT, the highest Traditional rowing league division, were recruited for a within-subject pre-post design; two did not complete the post-fatigue assessment and marker availability varied, so paired analyses included ≤17 complete cases per variable. Following a pre-fatigue kinematic assessment, participants performed a standardized incremental test to volitional exhaustion on a fixed-seat ergometer. Three-dimensional kinematic data were captured using an STT Systems 3DMA. Paired-samples Results: Body segment heights decreased significantly after fatigue and remained significant after correction. At the catch, head (1,182.0 vs. 1,163.8 mm), shoulder (914.3 vs. 882.9 mm) and hand heights (641.1 vs. 626.9 mm) were reduced (adjusted Conclusion: Neuromuscular fatigue induces distinct, phase-specific kinematic adaptations in Traditional rowing, characterized by a systematic reduction in postural height (all three upper-body landmarks at the catch, and head and hand heights at the finish) and exploratory joint-angle adjustments at the catch and finish. These findings support multisegmental three-dimensional kinematic analysis as a sensitive tool for monitoring fatigue-related technique changes in Traditional rowing, with implications for training design and potential relevance for injury prevention.
