An integrative approach to the pulmonary physiology of exercise: when does biological sex matter?
Review 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 18 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
Historically, many studies investigating the pulmonary physiology of exercise (and biomedical research in general) were performed exclusively or predominantly with male research participants. This has led to an incomplete understanding of the pulmonary response to exercise. More recently, important sex-based differences with respect to the human respiratory system have been identified. The purpose of this review is to summarize current findings related to sex-based differences in the pulmonary physiology of exercise. To that end, we will discuss how morphological sex-based differences of the respiratory system affect the respiratory response to exercise. Moreover, we will discuss sex-based differences of the physiological integrative responses to exercise, and how all these differences can influence the regulation of breathing. We end with a brief discussion of pregnancy and menopause and the accompanying ventilatory changes observed during exercise.
