Partitional calorimetry.
Review in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 71 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
For thermal physiologists, calorimetry is an important methodological tool to assess human heat balance during heat or cold exposures. A whole body direct calorimeter remains the gold standard instrument for assessing human heat balance; however, this equipment is rarely available to most researchers. A more widely accessible substitute is partitional calorimetry, a method by which all components of the conceptual heat balance equation-metabolic heat production, conduction, radiation, convection, and evaporation-are calculated separately based on fundamental properties of energy exchange. Since partitional calorimetry requires relatively inexpensive equipment (vs. direct calorimetry) and can be used over a wider range of experimental conditions (i.e., different physical activities, laboratory or field settings, clothed or seminude), it allows investigators to address a wide range of problems such as predicting human responses to thermal stress, developing climatic exposure limits and fluid replacement guidelines, estimating clothing properties, evaluating cooling/warming interventions, and identifying potential thermoregulatory dysfunction in unique populations. In this Cores of Reproducibility in Physiology (CORP) review, we summarize the fundamental principles underlying the use of partitional calorimetry, present the various methodological and arithmetic requirements, and provide typical examples of its use. Strategies to minimize estimation error of specific heat balance components, as well as the limitations of the method, are also discussed. The goal of this CORP paper is to present a standardized methodology and thus improve the accuracy and reproducibility of research employing partitional calorimetry.
