Are heart rate methods based on ergometer cycling and level treadmill walking interchangeable?
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThe heart rate (HR) method is a promising approach for evaluating oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]), energy demands and exercise intensities in different forms of physical activities. It would be valuable if the HR method, established on ergometer cycling, is interchangeable with other regular activities, such as level walking. This study therefore aimed to examine the interchangeability of the HR method when estimating [Formula: see text] for ergometer cycling and level treadmill walking in submaximal conditions.
methodsTwo models of [Formula: see text] regression equations for cycle ergometer exercise (CEE) and treadmill exercise (TE) were established with 34 active commuters. Model 1 consisted of three submaximal intensities of ergometer cycling or level walking, model 2 included also one additional workload of maximal ergometer cycling or running. The regression equations were used for estimating [Formula: see text] with seven individual HR values based on 25-85% of HR reserve (HRR). The [Formula: see text] estimations were compared between CEE and TE, within and between each model.
resultsOnly minor, and in most cases non-significant, average differences were observed when comparing the estimated [Formula: see text] levels between CEE and TE. Model 1 ranged from -0.4 to 4.8% (n.s.) between 25-85%HRR. In model 2, the differences between 25-65%HRR ranged from 1.3 to -2.7% (n.s.). At the two highest intensities, 75 and 85%HRR, [Formula: see text] was slightly lower (3.7%, 4.4%; P < 0.05), for CEE than TE. The inclusion of maximal exercise in the [Formula: see text] relationships reduced the individual [Formula: see text] variations between the two exercise modalities.
conclusionThe HR methods, based on submaximal ergometer cycling and level walking, are interchangeable for estimating mean [Formula: see text] levels between 25-85% of HRR. Essentially, the same applies when adding maximal exercise in the [Formula: see text] relationships. The inter-individual [Formula: see text] variation between ergometer cycling and treadmill exercise is reduced when using the HR method based on both submaximal and maximal workloads.
