Changes in vastus lateralis fibre cross-sectional area, pennation angle and fascicle length do not predict changes in muscle cross-sectional area.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.

findingsWhat is the central question of this study? Do changes in myofibre cross-sectional area, pennation angle and fascicle length predict vastus lateralis whole-muscle cross-sectional area changes following resistance training? What is the main finding and its importance? Changes in vastus lateralis mean myofibre cross-sectional area, fascicle length and pennation angle following a period of resistance training did not collectively predict changes in whole-muscle cross-sectional area. Despite the limited sample size in this study, these data reiterate that it remains difficult to generalize the morphological adaptations that predominantly drive tissue-level vastus lateralis muscle hypertrophy. ABSTRACT: Myofibre hypertrophy during resistance training (RT) poorly associates with tissue-level surrogates of hypertrophy. However, it is underappreciated that, in pennate muscle, changes in myofibre cross-sectional area (fCSA), fascicle length (L
