Are the effects of training on fat metabolism involved in the improvement of performance during high-intensity exercise?
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 objective of the present study was to relate changes in certain muscle characteristics and indicators of metabolism in response to endurance training to the concomitant changes in time to exhaustion (T(lim)) at a work rate corresponding to maximal oxygen uptake VO(2speak). Eight healthy sedentary subjects pedalled on a cycle ergometer 2 h a day, 6 days a week, for 4 weeks. Training caused increases in VO(2peak) (by 8%), T(lim) (from 299 +/- 23 s before to 486 +/- 63 s after training), citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyl-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) activities (by 54% and 16%, respectively) and capillary density (by 31%). Decreases in activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and muscle type of LDH (by 24% and 28%, respectively) and the phosphofructokinase/citrate synthase ratio (by 37%) were also observed. Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) tended to be lower (P < 0.1) at all relative work rates after training while the corresponding ventilation rates (VE) were unchanged. At the same absolute work rate, RER and (VE) were lower after training (P < 0.05). The improvement of T(lim) with training was related to the increases in HAD activity (r = 0.91, P = 0.0043), and to the decreases in RER calculated for Pa(peak) (r = 0.71, P = 0.0496). The present results suggest that the training-induced adaptations in fat metabolism might influence T(lim) at a work rate corresponding to VO(2peak) and stimulate the still debated and incompletely understood role of fat metabolism during short high-intensity exercise.
