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

This investigation assessed performance, physiological and perceptual responses to wearing additional clothing during endurance training for two-weeks in temperate environments, to determine if this approach could be used as a practical, alternative, heat acclimation strategy for athletes. Fifteen trained male triathletes assigned to performance-matched groups completed a two-week unsupervised endurance cycling and running program in either (i) shorts and a short sleeve top (CON; n = 8) or (ii) additional clothing of full-length pants, a "winter" jacket and gloves made from nylon, polyurethane and polyester (AC; n = 7). Participants completed three separate (i.e. familiarisation, pre-program and post-program), identical, pre-loaded cycling time-trials (20 min at 180 W followed by a 40 min self-paced time trial) in 32.5 ± 0.1°C and 55 ± 6% RH. Core and skin temperatures, heart rate, sweat rate, perceived exertion, thermal sensation and thermal comfort were measured across the pre-loaded time trials, and heart rate and thermal sensation were measured across the training program. All of the participants recorded in their diaries that they completed all of the programmed training sessions in the required attire. Mean thermal sensation was
