Pain thresholds following maximal endurance exercise.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposePhysical exercise causes alterations in pain sensitivity. Many studies verified so-called exercise-induced analgesia caused by submaximal aerobic intensity. This study aimed to determine the effect of an endurance exercise to exhaustion on pain sensitivity of healthy young men.
methodPressure pain thresholds (PPTs) [in Newton, (N)] of 50 healthy males (mean age 26 ± 4 years) were applied to knee, ankle and elbow joints as well as to the sternum and forehead. This was followed by a bout of cycling ergometer exercise to exhaustion. The whole process was repeated after 20 and 60 min respectively.
resultsEndurance exercise to exhaustion decreased PPTs at sternum and forehead significantly, while thresholds at the joints were not affected. Pain thresholds at forehead and sternum declined 20 min after exercise with the forehead's threshold being more reduced. PPTs remain decreased until 60 min after exercise (forehead: from 43.6 ± 15.2 N to 36.6 ± 19.8 N to 37.2 ± 13.4 N; sternum: from 46.8 ± 21.0 N to 42.5 ± 17.1 N to 44.8 ± 18.2 N). Modulation of pain sensitivity showed large effect sizes over time for both landmarks (forehead w = 0.65; sternum w = 0.50).
conclusionExhaustive endurance exercise is followed by a hyperalgetic condition at forehead and sternum. This may be due to either a reduction in pain inhibiting or an activation in pain stimulating pathways.
