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

The conductive response in thigh muscle compartments has been imaged by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) under bicycle-operation conditions and muscle-stimulation conditions to determine an efficient training strategy. EIT is already applied to evaluate the effectiveness of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) on human muscle, and hybrid of EMS which combines EMS on biceps and voluntary resistance training simultaneously. In this study, we newly applied EIT to the thigh muscle compartments and imaged the conductive response under bicycle-operation conditions and muscle-stimulation conditions. The bicycle-operation conditions are high pedal rate in low torque (HPLT) and low pedal rate in high torque (LPHT). The muscle-stimulation conditions are bicycle condition and EMS-combined bicycle condition. As a result, EIT successfully imaged the conductive response in three muscle compartments which are T1 compartment (quadriceps), T2 compartment (hamstrings), and T3 compartment (other than the quadriceps and hamstrings). The spatial-mean conductivity changes
