Effects of Heat Acclimatization, Heat Acclimation, and Intermittent Exercise Heat Training on Time-Trial Performance.
Article in Sports health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate effects of heat acclimatization (HAz) followed by heat acclimation (HA), and intermittent heat training (IHT) on time-trial performance. HYPOTHESIS: Time-trial performance will improve after HA and will further improve with twice a week of IHT. STUDY
designInterventional study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.
methodsA total of 26 male athletes (mean ± SD; age, 35 ± 12 years; body mass, 72.8 ± 8.9 kg; peak oxygen consumption [VO
resultsTime trial was faster in post-HA (17.98 ± 2.51 minutes) compared with baseline (18.61 ± 3.06 minutes;
conclusionThese results indicate that HA after HAz induces additional improvement in time-trial performance. IHT twice per week shows improvement after 8 weeks, while once per week maintains performance for 8 weeks. No IHT results in a loss of adaptations after 4 weeks and even greater losses after 8 weeks. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: HA after HAz improves time-trial performance, twice a week of IHT improves performance further, and once a week of IHT maintains performance for at least 8 weeks.
