Endocrine rhythms and sport: it is time to take time into account.
Review in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundStudies of time-related biological phenomena have contributed to establishing a new scientific discipline, the chronobiology, which considers biological phenomena in relation to time. Sports activity profoundly affects the temporal organization of the organism and endocrine rhythms play a key role in the chronoorganization of individuals and are particularly important for correct physical activity. Correctly reading rhythmic hormonal variations of the human organism opens new horizons to sports medicine.
objectiveThis review is aimed at clarifying the relationship between endocrine rhythms and sports activities on the basis of the latest data in the literature.
methodData acquisition was obtained from three databases (PubMed, Scopus and SPORTDiscus), paying particular attention to reviews, meta-analysis, original and observational studies on this issue.
resultsAfter the description of the general characteristics and parameters of biological rhythms, the main endocrine rhythms will be described, highlighting in particular the interrelationships with sports activity and focusing on the factors which can affect negatively their characteristics and consequently the psychophysical performances of the athletes.
conclusionKnowledge of this issue may allow establishing the best form of competitive or amateur activity, through the collaboration of an informed athlete and a sports physician attentive to biological rhythms. By taking into account that alteration of physiological rhythmic temporal organization can favour the onset of important diseases, including cancer, this will lead to the expected performances without impairing the correct chronoorganization of the athlete.
