Menstrual cycle effects on cardiovascular drift and maximal oxygen uptake during exercise heat stress.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimCompared to other modulators of physiological strain associated with exercise heat stress, hyperthermia results in the greatest magnitude of cardiovascular (CV) drift and associated decrements in maximal oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]). PURPOSE: To determine if elevated core temperature in the luteal phase (LP) of the menstrual cycle results in greater CV drift and reductions in [Formula: see text] versus the follicular phase (FP).
methodsSeven women performed 15- and 45-min cycling bouts on separate occasions (60% [Formula: see text], 35 °C) followed by a [Formula: see text] test during the FP and LP. CV drift was measured between 15 and 45 min during the 45-min bout, and the 15-min bout was for measuring [Formula: see text] over the same time interval that CV drift occurred.
resultsCore temperature during LP was ~ 0.3 °C higher than FP (P < 0.05), but changes from rest during exercise were similar between phases (all P > 0.05). Heart rate increased significantly over time but was not different between phases (P = 0.78). Stroke volume decreased more over time during LP compared to FP (P = 0.02), but the values were similar at the end of exercise between phases (both time points P > 0.05). [Formula: see text] decrements for FP (13%) and LP (16%) were also comparable (P = 0.97).
conclusionsThe LP-FP difference in core temperature in this study was not sufficient to amplify CV strain and decrements in [Formula: see text]. Greater differences in core temperature may be required to independently modulate CV drift and accompanying decrements in [Formula: see text] during prolonged exercise heat stress.
