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/

objectivesPrevious research has demonstrated that the perception of self-motion, as signaled by cervical proprioception, is significantly altered during neck muscle fatigue, while no similar effects are observed when self-motion is signaled by the vestibular system. Given that in typical natural movements, both proprioceptive and vestibular signals are activated simultaneously, this study sought to investigate whether the misperception of motion persists during neck muscle fatigue when both proprioceptive and vestibular stimulation are present.

methodsThe study evaluated the gain of the perceptual responses to symmetric yaw sinusoidal head rotations on a stationary trunk during visual target localization tasks across different rotational frequencies. In addition, the final localization error of the visual target was assessed following asymmetric sinusoidal head rotations with differing half-cycle velocities.

resultsThe findings indicated that even with combined proprioceptive and vestibular stimulation, self-motion perceptual responses under neck muscle fatigue showed a pronounced reduction in the gain at low-frequency stimuli and a notable increase in localization error following asymmetric rotations. Notably, spatial localization error was observed to persist after asymmetric stimulation conditioning in the light. Additionally, even moderate levels of muscle fatigue were found to result in increased self-motion misperception.

conclusionsThis study suggests that neck muscle fatigue can disrupt spatial orientation, even when the vestibular system is activated, so that slow movements are inaccurately perceived. This highlights the potential risks associated with neck muscle fatigue in daily activities that demand precise spatial perception.
