Comparative effects of suspension-based and dynamometer-based isometric training on neuromuscular performance in trained male athletes: a randomized comparative study.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 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
Objectives: Isometric strength training is widely used to enhance athletic performance and support rehabilitation. However, few studies compare the effects of dynamometer-based and suspension-based isometric training on performance, and the effects of these methods remain unclear. This study compares the effects of dynamometer-based and suspension-based isometric training on muscle asymmetry, balance, estimated maximal strength, anaerobic power, and isokinetic strength in trained male athletes. Methods: This study included 16 healthy male athletes aged 18 to 21 years (mean age: 18.81 ± 1.16 years; height: 178.06 ± 4.65 cm; body weight: 74.25 ± 4.32 kg; BMI: 23.43 ± 1.24 kg/m Results: A significant main effect of time from the pretest to the posttest was found for the parameters of isokinetic peak torque, OSI, MLI, peak power, average power, and estimated 1RM (p <.05). In contrast, no significant main effect of time was observed for muscle asymmetry, API, and time to reach peak power (p>.05). Furthermore, it was stated that neither the group effect nor the time × group interaction showed a statistically significant effect on any of the performance parameters (p>.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, while an eight-week TRX and dynamometer-based isometric training program resulted in significant changes in selected strength, balance, and anaerobic power parameters attributable to the main effect of time, no significant changes were observed in group effects or time × group interactions for any of the measured parameters.
