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

purposeThe primary aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of acute fish oil (FO) supplementation on indices of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in young healthy adults.

methodsTwenty-two healthy young male and females were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: fish oil (FO) or placebo control (CON). Participants performed a muscle damage protocol consisting of 10 sets of 10 plyometric drop jumps. Vertical jump height, isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque, and systemic inflammation markers were assessed at pre-exercise, immediately post (post-0), post-24, post-48, and post-72 h.

resultsVertical jump performance and quadriceps peak torque significantly decreased in the CON group at post-0, 24, and 48 h (

conclusionsOur findings indicate that acute FO administration may modestly aid muscle recovery and reduce muscle soreness following EIMD in healthy young adults while the overall impact may be limited.
