Regulating intensity using perceived exertion: effect of exercise duration.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To examine whether the validity of perception-based intensity regulation would be affected by exercise duration, 20 subjects were recruited to complete a maximal exercise test (GXT) and four submaximal trials of varying duration and intensity using a cyle ergometer. During GXT, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), oxygen uptake VO2, heart rate (HR), and power output (PO) equivalent to 50 and 75% VO2peak were determined. During each trial, subjects were to produce and maintain a workload using RPE estimated at 50 or 75% VO2peak for 20 or 40 min, and VO2, HR, and PO were measured throughout the exercise. No differences in average VO(2) were found between the estimation and production trial of either duration. However, average HR and PO were lower (P < 0.05) during the production trial of both durations. It appears that exercise duration has a minimal impact upon the accuracy of using RPE to regulate a target metabolic demand.
