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
The aim of this study is to implement a custom-designed data acquisition system with a DAQ card, based on the virtual instrument concept in the LabVIEW environment, to investigate and analyze muscle fatigue using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. The experiment was conducted as a pilot case study on a healthy volunteer, where sEMG signals from the biceps brachii muscle were collected during cyclic weighted exercises. Signal registration was performed across three distinct states: no fatigue, moderate fatigue, and high fatigue. The developed measurement system enabled signal acquisition, filtering, and analysis through both online processing and post-processing. Time-domain parameters (ARV, RMS, Umax) and frequency-domain parameters (ΣPS, MNF, MDF) were determined from three series of measurements. An analysis of parameter changes was conducted both within and between the series. The results indicated that with the onset of muscle fatigue, the participant exhibited a decrease in amplitude parameters and a shift in the power spectrum toward lower frequencies. Frequency-domain parameters, particularly MNF, exhibited higher diagnostic sensitivity than amplitude parameters. The obtained results confirm the technical feasibility of the developed virtual instrument for sEMG signal analysis. Furthermore, they suggest its potential utility for objective muscle condition assessment, establishing an engineering baseline for future research.
