Cryocompression Therapy for Recovery from Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Healthy Young Men.
Article in Sports (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
backgroundCryocompression, an emerging therapy combining cryotherapy and compression therapy, has limited evidence regarding its effects on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage.
methodsThis study aimed to compare the effects of cryotherapy (CT), normothermic water compression (NWC), and cryocompression (CC) on muscle damage, proprioception, and performance following eccentric exercise. Forty healthy male participants performed 30 sets of 10 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions (30°/s) of the quadriceps of the non-dominant leg. Muscle damage indicators [thigh circumference (CIR), muscle soreness measured by visual analog scale (VAS)], proprioception [position sense (PS), force sense (FS)], and performance parameters [range of motion (ROM), maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC)] were assessed before and on days 1-5 following eccentric exercise. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc tests was used to evaluate group × time interactions.
resultsSignificant interactions were observed for CIR between the CT, NWC and CC groups compared to the control group, as well as for VAS scores between the CC and CON groups (
conclusionCryocompression reduced limb swelling and muscle soreness, as well as post-exercise-induced muscle damage, and NWC mitigated limb swelling, but none significantly affected proprioception or performance parameters.
