The Acute Physiological Effects of Multiple Muscle Stimulation.
Article in Muscles (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown to provide health benefits similar to those of exercise. The aim of this study was to quantify the acute physiological effects of multiple muscle stimulation on the whole body and individual muscles. Nine healthy young adults were tested. NMES of eight muscle groups was performed with NMES stimulators. The vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, medial gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles of both legs were stimulated for ten minutes with twitch stimulations at the highest comfortable stimulation current. Whole-body metabolism was measured using a metabolic cart. A finger pulse oximeter and a tri-axial accelerometer were used to measure heart rate and muscle fatigue, respectively. Muscle metabolism (mVO
