Cardiorespiratory fitness, respiratory function and hemodynamic responses to maximal cycle ergometer exercise test in girls and boys aged 9-11 years: the PANIC Study.

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
purposeWe aimed to provide comprehensive data on and reference values for cardiorespiratory fitness, respiratory function and hemodynamic responses during and after maximal cycle ergometer test in children.
methodsThe participants were a population sample of 140 children (69 girls) aged 9-11 years. Heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured from pre-exercise rest to the end of recovery. Respiratory gases were measured directly by the breath-by-breath method. Peak workload, HR changes, peak oxygen uptake (VO2), peak oxygen pulse (O2 pulse), peak respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and the lowest ratio of ventilation and carbon dioxide output (VE/VCO2) during the exercise test in girls and boys were presented according to their distributions in 5 categories.
resultsHR decreased more during 4-min recovery in boys than in girls (76 vs. 67 beats/min, p < 0.001), whereas SBP decrease was similar in boys and girls (30 vs. 22 mmHg, p = 0.66). Boys had a higher peak VO2 per weight [51.9 vs. 47.6 ml/kg/min, p < 0.001] and per lean mass [67.3 vs. 63.0 ml/kg/min, p < 0.001] than girls. Peak O2 pulse per lean mass was higher in boys than in girls (0.34 vs. 0.31 ml/kg/beat, p < 0.001). There was no difference in the lowest VE/VCO2 during the test between boys and girls (28 vs. 29, p = 0.18).
conclusionsThe indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness were better in boys than in girls. These data enable the evaluation of cardiorespiratory function during and after maximal exercise test and the detection of children with abnormal values.
