1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue are significant barriers to physical activity in middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes (T2D), exacerbated by impaired tissue healing and chronic inflammation. Objectives: To evaluate whether post-exercise therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) effectively reduces exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue while improving metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in women with T2D. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Thirty sedentary women with T2D (aged 41-49 years, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 6.5%-9.0%) were randomized to a TUS group ( Results: The TUS group showed marked decreases in pain (-2.2, 95% CI: -2.8 to -1.6, Conclusion: TUS is a safe, effective adjunct for reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue in women with T2D, with benefits in glycemic control and inflammation. Larger trials with sham controls are needed. Trial registration: This trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20211201053244N1) on June 21, 2022.
