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

Dr. Dolmage and colleagues commented on a recent publication titled, "Cardiovascular responses to counterweighted single-leg cycling: implications for rehabilitation." They assert that a counterweight is not required to facilitate natural single-leg cycling, rather a fixed gear ergometer can also accomplish the same goal. We agree with Dolmage and colleagues that a fixed gear ergometer can facilitate natural single-leg cycling with minimal deviation in the angular velocity of the crank if the kinetic energy of the flywheel is large. We also present some simple comparisons between the two modalities.
