Relationship Between the Borg Scale Rating of Perceived Exertion and Leg-Muscle Deoxygenation During Incremental Exercise in Healthy Adults.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionThe Borg scale rating of perceived exertion is a reliable indicator and widely used to monitor and guide exercise intensity. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between the Borg scale score and oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) concentrations in the leg muscle as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in healthy adult men. We also investigated the relationships between the Borg scale score and the work rate (WR), heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO
methodsParticipants comprised 12 healthy men. Cardiopulmonary and NIRS parameters were assessed during each minute of CPET and at the end of the test.
resultsThe Borg scale score was significantly correlated with cardiopulmonary parameters including WR, HR, VO DISCUSSION: The Borg scale score is significantly correlated with cardiopulmonary parameters (WR, HR, VO
conclusionsThe Borg scale score might better reflect cardiopulmonary responses than muscle deoxygenation during exercise. These results can aid in the planning of rehabilitation programs for healthy adults.
