Beneficial effects of reduced soft tissue vibrations with compression garments on delayed neuromuscular impairments induced by an exhaustive downhill run.

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: Soft tissue vibrations (STV) have been extensively researched for their effects on muscle fatigue and damage, but their influence during running remains unclear. As compression garments are known to lower STV, they have shown benefits on acute neuromuscular responses to downhill running. However, an in-depth analysis of changes in STV has never been proposed, and previous protocols did not overcome the repeated bout effect. This study aims to investigate whether compression shorts could reduce STV parameters and related neuromuscular impairments using a unilateral compression protocol. Materials and methods: Twenty healthy men performed a downhill run until exhaustion while wearing shorts that compressed one thigh with the contralateral leg serving as a control. Foot-ground impacts (FGI), STV, and muscle activation of the Results: While results showed that both FGI and STV magnitude increased during the run by 19.7% ( Conclusion: This study revealed the potential of compression garments to act as a mechanical support that attenuates high-frequency STV during downhill running and mitigates subsequent delayed neuromuscular alterations.
