Physiological responses of young and elderly men to prolonged exercise at critical power.
Article in European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The critical power (CP) of a muscle group or individual may represent the highest rate of work which can be performed for an extended period. We investigated this concept in young (n = 13, 24.5 years) and elderly (n = 12, 70.7 years) active men by first determining CP and then comparing responses elicited by 24 min of cycle exercise at power outputs (omega) corresponding to CP. Values from the final 2 min of the 24-min ride were expressed relative to maximal values established in a ramp test. CP for the elderly was only 65% that for the young, but on a relative basis, it was significantly higher both in terms of omega (67 vs 62% of omega max) and oxygen consumption (VO2) (91.5 vs 85.2% of maximum oxygen consumption). There were no group differences in relative values for ventilation (VE), heart rate or respiratory exchange ratio (R). During the 24-min ride, VO2 and R achieved a plateau in both groups, while VE, blood lactate and arterial PCO2 continued to change in the young. It was concluded that CP can be determined in active elderly men, but that CP may not represent a true non-fatiguing work rate in either young or elderly men.
