1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 relationship between circulatory flow (Q) and oxygen uptake (VO2) may provide insights into performance of peripheral mechanisms which govern blood flow during exercise (circulatory efficacy). This study evaluated the response of Q relative to VO2 during progressive upright cycle exercise in a group of 39 preadolescent boys (mean age 12.2 +/- SD 0.5 years). The Q-VO2 relationship was curvilinear, best described by the cubic equation Q = 3.60(VO2)(3) + 5.24(VO2)(2) + 2.40(VO2) - 0.94. Circulatory efficacy, defined as the %DeltaQ/%DeltaVO2 x 100, fell from 70.4% between the first two workloads to 49.7% at peak exercise. This decline in circulatory efficacy is consistent with other published data suggesting a decline in skeletal muscle pump function at high intensity workloads. The pattern of change in relationship of Q and VO2 during progressive exercise in these children is similar to that observed in studies of adults. This implies that performance of peripheral determinants of circulatory responses to exercise is not affected by biological maturation.
