Wearing compression tights post-exercise enhances recovery hemodynamics and subsequent cycling performance.
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, 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
purposeTo investigate sports compression garment (CG)-induced recovery hemodynamics and their potential impact on subsequent cycling performance.
methodsIn a randomized crossover design, 13 physically active men (20.9 ± 1.4 years; 65.9 ± 7.8 kg; 173.3 ± 4.8 cm; peak power output 254.2 ± 27.2 W) underwent 2 experimental trials. During each experimental trial, the subjects performed 20-min fatiguing preload cycling followed by 60-min passive recovery wearing either a sports CG (28.6 ± 9.4 mmHg) or gymnastic pants (CON). A 5-min all-out cycling performance test was subsequently conducted and power output and cadence were recorded. Cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were measured using Doppler ultrasound (USCOM®). Heart rate (HR), blood lactate [BLa
resultsDuring the subsequent 5-min all-out cycling performance test, power output (215.2 ± 24.0 vs. 210.8 ± 21.5 W, CG vs. CON) and cadence (72.5 ± 3.8 vs. 71.2 ± 4.8 rpm, CG vs. CON) were higher in CG than CON (P < 0.05). SV was higher at 15, 30 and 45 min (P < 0.05), CO was higher at 5 and 45 min (P < 0.05), HR was lower at 15 and 30 min (P < 0.05) and [BLa
conclusionSports CG improves subsequent cycling performance by enhancing hemodynamic responses and attenuating perceived muscle soreness during passive recovery in physically active men.
