The skin blood flow response to exercise in boys and men and the role of nitric oxide.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
purposeChildren thermoregulate effectively during exercise despite sweating rate being consistently lower when compared with adults. The skin blood flow (SkBF) response of children to exercise is inconsistent, when compared with adults. We examined the SkBF response to exercise in children and adults, along with the potential contribution of nitric oxide to the SkBF response.
methodsForearm SkBF during cycling (30 min at 60% [Formula: see text]O
resultsThe exercise-induced SkBF increase was similar in boys and men (mean ± SD, 540 ± 127 vs. 536 ± 103% baseline, respectively, p = 0.43, d = 0.01 [- 0.8 to 0.8]). However, the total hyperaemic response to exercise (area-under-the-curve, AUC) indicated that boys had a greater vasodilatory response (cutaneous vascular resistance, CVC) (p < 0.01, d = 0.6 [- 1.2 to 2.8] than the men (134,215 ± 29,207 vs. 107,257 ± 20,320 CVC·s
conclusionsThese findings suggest that boys experience greater vasodilation and faster increases in SkBF during exercise compared with men. The contribution of nitric oxide to the SkBF response to exercise appears to be greater in boys than in men.
