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.

Abstract

purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine whether a supramaximal constant-load verification test at 105% of the highest work rate would yield a higher V˙O2max when compared with an incremental test in 10- to 12-yr-old nonobese and obese children.

methodsNine nonobese (body mass index percentile = 57.5 ± 23.2) and nine obese (body mass index percentile = 97.9 ± 1.4) children completed a two-test protocol that included an incremental test followed 15 min later by a supramaximal constant-load verification test.

resultsThe V˙O2max achieved in verification testing (nonobese = 1.71 ± 0.31 L·min and obese = 1.94 ± 0.47 L·min) was significantly higher than that achieved during the incremental test (nonobese = 1.57 ± 0.27 L·min and obese = 1.84 ± 0.48 L·min; P < 0.001). There was no significant group (i.e., nonobese vs obese)-test (i.e., incremental vs verification) interaction, suggesting that there was no effect of obesity on the difference between verification and incremental V˙O2max (P = 0.747).

conclusionA verification test yielded significantly higher values of V˙O2max when compared with the incremental test in obese children. Similar results were observed in nonobese children. Supramaximal constant-load verification is a time-efficient and well-tolerated method for identifying the highest V˙O2 in nonobese and obese children.
