Six Weeks of Polarized Versus Moderate Intensity Distribution: A Pilot Intervention Study.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06485063 (Effects of Myofascial Reorganization on Running Performance, and Lower Limb Biomechanical, Viscoelastic, and Thermographic Properties of Triathletes), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
backgroundPrevious research indicates that polarized training-intensity-distribution (TID) programs could enhance endurance performance. Short-distance triathletes, however, perform most of their competition-specific training around moderate-intensity intervals. There is still a lack of evidence as to which program is more beneficial during triathlete training. This pilot study examined 6 weeks of training-macrocycle using polarized intensity distribution compared to moderate TID and it's effects on sub-maximal and maximal performance indices during running and cycling.
methodsFifteen moderately trained triathletes were either assigned to an intervention group (INT,
resultsBoth groups notably improved their lactate threshold 2 (+2.8 ± 5.1 %,
conclusionPolarized TID in moderately trained triathletes did not prove to be superior compared to a more moderate TID. However, more studies in larger and more highly trained subjects are needed.
