Predicting post-exertional malaise in Gulf War Illness based on acute exercise responses.
Article in Life sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimsPost-exertional malaise (PEM) is poorly understood in Gulf War Illness (GWI). Exercise challenges have emerged as stimuli to study PEM; however, little attention has been paid to unique cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses during exercise. This study tested whether select exercise parameters explained variability in PEM responses. MAIN
methodsVisual analog scale (0-100) versions of the Kansas questionnaire were used for daily symptom measurements one week before and one week after 30-min of cycling at 70% heart rate reserve in 43 Veterans with GWI and 31 Veteran controls (CON). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) methods were used to measure oxygen (VO KEY
findingsCompared to CON, Veterans with GWI had greater ventilatory equivalent for oxygen (VE/VO SIGNIFICANCE: The PEM response was not related to the selected combination of cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses to exercise.
