Muscle metaboreflex activation by static exercise dilates pupil in humans.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
We examined a hypothesis that static exercise and activation of sympathetic activation by metabolically sensitive skeletal muscle afferents (metaboreflex) influence the sympathetic nervous activity modulating pupil diameter. Nine subjects performed 2 min isometric handgrip exercise at 30% maximal voluntary contraction, which was followed by either 2 min of postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) in the forearm or no PEMI (control trial). The pupil diameter and mean blood pressure (MAP) increased significantly from rest during exercise in PEMI and control trials (5 ± 1 and 7 ± 1% in diameter; 13 ± 2 and 12 ± 2 mmHg in MAP, respectively). These increases in the diameter and MAP were maintained during PEMI (7 ± 2% and 9 ± 2 mmHg) but not during the recovery period in the control trial (3 ± 2% and 1 ± 2 mmHg). These results demonstrate that static handgrip exercise increases the pupil diameter, and this increase is partly due to the activation of metaboreflex in humans.
