When Should a Heat-Tolerance Test Be Scheduled After Clinical Recovery From an Exertional Heat Illness?
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveResearchers have produced a hypothesis of transient heat intolerance (HI) after exertional heat stroke (EHS). Based on this hypothesis, heat-tolerance testing (HTT) has been postponed until weeks 6 to 8 after EHS and other types of exertional heat illness (EHI). We compared the HTT results of participants after either EHS or other EHI who were tested earlier (≤6-week group) versus those who were tested later (>6-week group) to verify the hypothesis.
designCohort study.
settingData obtained from records of military athletes who experienced EHS or EHI. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsAll participants who underwent HTT after EHI or EHS experienced between 2014 and 2018 and for whom complete data regarding the severity of the event (rectal temperature, neurologic symptoms, and laboratory results) and HTT results were available were included. Participants with suspected EHS and those with other EHIs were evaluated separately. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The percentages of participants with HI and mean probability of heat tolerance were compared between those tested within 6 weeks of the event and those tested later.
resultsA total of 186 participants were included in this study (EHS: 12 in the <6-week group, 9 in the >6-week group; EHI: 94 in the <6-week group, 71 in the >6-week group). In the EHS group, the percentages with HI (33% versus 44%,
conclusionsThe HTT results were similar between participants with EHS who were tested early (<6 weeks) and those tested late (>6 weeks). Further investigation of heat-tolerance changes in larger cohorts of patients after EHS is required to verify the theory of transient HI.
