Sodium bicarbonate ingestion improves repeated high-intensity cycling performance in the heat.

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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium bicarbonate ingestion on performance and recovery of the Wingate test during exercise in the heat. At 30 °C (∼50% relative humidity), ten male team sport athletes (mean values ± SD; age = 22 ± 4 y; body mass = 76 ± 9 kg) completed two 30s Wingate tests using a resistive load of 7.5% of body mass separated by 5 min of active recovery. They consumed either sodium bicarbonate (0.5g·kg
