Effects of extra load position on energy expenditure in treadmill running.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 present study was designed to investigate how much running economy would be affected by changing the placement of extra load on running subjects. Twenty-four volunteer college students, 18 males and 6 females between 19 and 25 years ran on a treadmill at three different speeds (6, 8, and 10 km h(-1)). Energy expenditure was measured in O(2 )l min(-1). Subjects were tested under three experimental conditions, presented in random order; a normal (baseline) condition, and two different conditions in which the subjects had to carry extra load. The extra load added 10% to the subjects' body mass, and was placed symmetrically on the subjects' shoulders or around their waists. Loading of the subjects affected running economy negatively in both conditions but more so for the shoulder condition. It is argued that the difference between the conditions is due to the fact that the subjects' balance control deteriorated when their centre of gravity was elevated by adding extra load on their shoulders.
