Elevated baseline work rate slows pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics and decreases critical power during upright cycle exercise.
Article in Physiological reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Critical power is a fundamental parameter defining high-intensity exercise tolerance, and is related to the phase II time constant of pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics (τV˙O2). Whether this relationship is causative is presently unclear. This study determined the impact of raised baseline work rate, which increases τV˙O2, on critical power during upright cycle exercise. Critical power was determined via four constant-power exercise tests to exhaustion in two conditions: (1) with exercise initiated from an unloaded cycling baseline (U→S), and (2) with exercise initiated from a baseline work rate of 90% of the gas exchange threshold (M→S). During these exercise transitions, τV˙O2 and the time constant of muscle deoxyhemoglobin kinetics (τ
