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

purposeThis study examined the effects of sodium chloride and potassium chloride supplementation during 48-h severe energy restriction on exercise capacity in the heat.

methodsNine males completed three 48-h trials: adequate energy intake (100 % requirement), adequate electrolyte intake (CON); restricted energy intake (33 % requirement), adequate electrolyte intake (ER-E); and restricted energy intake (33 % requirement), restricted electrolyte intake (ER-P). At 48 h, cycling exercise capacity at 60 % VO2 peak was determined in the heat (35.2 °C; 61.5 % relative humidity).

resultsBody mass loss during the 48 h was greater during ER-P [2.16 (0.36) kg] than ER-E [1.43 (0.47) kg; P < 0.01] and CON [0.39 (0.68) kg; P < 0.001], as well as greater during ER-E than CON (P < 0.01). Plasma volume decreased during ER-P (P < 0.001), but not ER-E or CON. Exercise capacity was greater during CON [73.6 (13.5) min] and ER-E [67.0 (17.2) min] than ER-P [56.5 (13.1) min; P < 0.01], but was not different between CON and ER-E (P = 0.237). Heart rate during exercise was lower during CON and ER-E than ER-P (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that supplementation of sodium chloride and potassium chloride during energy restriction attenuated the reduction in exercise capacity that occurred with energy restriction alone. Supplementation maintained plasma volume at pre-trial levels and consequently prevented the increased heart rate observed with energy restriction alone. These results suggest that water and electrolyte imbalances associated with dietary energy and electrolyte restriction might contribute to reduced exercise capacity in the heat.
