Effects of age and mode of exercise on power output profiles during repeated sprints.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 was to compare power output profiles during repeated cycling and running sprints in children and adults. On two separate visits, 12 boys [11.7 (0.5) years] and 13 men [22.1 (2.9) years] performed ten consecutive 10-s sprints interspersed with 15-s recovery intervals on a non-motorised treadmill and cycle ergometer. Peak (PPO) and mean (MPO) power outputs were measured during each sprint. Capillary fingertip blood samples were drawn at rest and 3 min after the final sprint to measure lactate accumulation (Delta[La]). PPO and MPO decreased significantly more in adults compared to children over the ten sprints irrespective of the mode of exercise (P<0.001). PPO decreased by a similar amount during running and cycling in children (-17.7 versus -14.3%, P>0.05, respectively) and adults (-43.3 versus -40.0%, P>0.05, respectively). In contrast, MPO decreased significantly more during running compared to cycling both in children (-28.9 versus -18.7%, P<0.05) and adults (-47.0 versus -36.7%, P<0.05). The greater decrease in MPO during running compared to cycling was accompanied in children by significantly higher Delta[La] values (7.7 versus 4.1 mmol l(-1), P<0.001). In adults, blood lactate accumulation tended to be higher during running than cycling (12.7 versus 10.8 mmol l(-1), P=0.06). To conclude, adults displayed a greater decrement in power output compared to children over the ten repeated running and cycling sprints. Furthermore, children and adults experienced greater fatigue during running compared to cycling. This last result may be attributed to additional muscle recruitment during sprint running.
