Influence of blood donation on the incidence of plateau at VO2max.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reductions in blood volume and associated oxygen-carrying capacity on the incidence of plateau at VO2max.
methodsFifteen well-trained athletes (age 23.3 ± 4.5; mass 77.4 ± 13.1 kg, height 180.1 ± 6.0 cm) completed three incremental cycle tests to volitional exhaustion, of which the first was defined as familiarisation, with the remaining two trials forming the experimental conditions of pre- (UBL) and post-(BLE) blood donation (~ 450 cm(3)). The work rate for the incremental tests commenced at 100 W for 60 s followed by a ramp of 0.42 W s(-1), with cadence being held constant at 80 rpm. Throughout all trials, VO2 was determined on a breath-by-breath basis using a pre-calibrated metabolic cart. The criteria for plateau determination was a ∆VO2 ≤ 50 ml min(-1) over the final two consecutive 30 s sampling periods.
resultsDespite a significant (P = 0.0028) 9.4 % reduction in haemoglobin concentration and 10.8 % (P = 0.016) reduction in erythrocyte count between UBL and BLE, there was no change in plateau incidence. However, significant differences were observed for both VO2max (P = 0.0059) 51.3 ± 7.6 (UBL) 48.4 ± 7.9 ml kg(-1) min(-1) (BLE) and gas exchange threshold arrival time 383.4 ± 85.2 s (UBL) 349.2 ± 71.4 s (BLE) (P = 0.0028).
conclusionThese data suggest that plateau at VO2max is unaffected by O2 availability lending support to the notion of the plateau being dependent on the anaerobic capacity and the classically orientated concept of VO2max.
