The effect of exercise intensity on exercise-induced hypoalgesia in cancer survivors: A randomized crossover trial.
Trial report in Physiological reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pain is experienced by people with cancer during treatment and in survivorship. Exercise can have an acute hypoalgesic effect (exercise-induced hypoalgesia; EIH) in healthy individuals and some chronic pain states. However, EIH, and the moderating effect of exercise intensity, has not been investigated in cancer survivors. This study examined the effect of low- and high-intensity aerobic exercise on EIH in cancer survivors after a single exercise session as well as a brief period of exercise training (2-weeks, three exercise sessions per week). Participants (N = 19) were randomized to low- (30%-40% Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) or high- (60%-70% HRR) intensity stationary cycling for 15-20 min. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) were assessed over the rectus femoris and biceps brachii before and after a single exercise session and again after a short training period at the assigned intensity. Then, following a 6-week washout period, the intervention was repeated at the other intensity. After the first exercise session, high-intensity exercise resulted in greater EIH over the rectus femoris than low intensity (mean difference ± SE: -0.51 kg/cm
