Acute Effects of Short-Term Warm Water Immersion on Arterial Stiffness and Central Hemodynamics.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Warm water immersion (WWI) has a potentially favorable effect on vascular health. However, the effects of short-term WWI on vascular function and central hemodynamics remain unclear. The present study aimed to determine the acute effects of short-term WWI on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics in healthy men. Ten healthy men (27-57 years, 44 ± 12 years of mean age) underwent 5-min WWI (40-41°C) at the heart level. Systemic hemodynamics and tympanic temperature were monitored during WWI. Furthermore, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and aortic hemodynamics were measured before and 10 min after WWI. Cardiac output (CO) (via the Modelflow method) increased (
