Effect of menstrual cycle and gender on ventilatory and heart rate responses at the onset of exercise.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
To clarify the luteal-follicular and male-female differences in ventilatory and heart rate responses at the onset of exercise, seven women and seven men performed voluntary exercise and passive movement for 20 s (brief voluntary exercise and brief passive movement) and voluntary exercise for 3 min (long voluntary exercise) in a sitting position. Voluntary exercise consisted of alternate flexion-extensions of both lower legs with a weight corresponding to about 2.5% of the subjects' body mass attached to each ankle, at a frequency of about 60 times min(-1). Passive movement was carried out without weights by experimenters pulling ropes attached to both of the subjects' ankles, in the same way as voluntary exercise. During these exercises and movements, minute inspiratory ventilation ( V(I)) and heart rate (HR) were continuously measured by breath-by-breath and beat-to-beat techniques. We calculated relative changes of V(I) and HR (Delta V(I) and DeltaHR). Additionally, we averaged Delta V(I) and DeltaHR obtained during the exercise and movement for each subject, and performed a correlation analysis between the averaged Delta V(I) and DeltaHR. It was clarified that: (1) Delta V(I) and DeltaHR in the follicular phase were almost equal to those in the luteal phase; (2) there were no significant male-female differences in these parameters; (3) significant positive correlations were found in both genders only during brief voluntary exercise. We conclude that ventilatory and HR responses at the onset of voluntary exercise and passive movement are not affected by the menstrual cycle or gender.
