Reference Values of Forced Vital Capacity and Expiratory Flow in High-Level Cyclists.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Several studies have demonstrated that spirometric theoretical values may not be applicable to the high-level sports population. No reference values exist for high-level professional cyclists. We aimed to establish predictive spirometric values by reference equations. One hundred and forty-five French Caucasian high-level professional cyclists, aged 18-38, performed basic anthropometric assessment and spirometry during the medical evaluation at the beginning of the sport season. Measured values were compared with theoretical values. Predictive equations were established from anthropometric parameters to explain variations of spirometric parameters. High-level cyclists had significantly higher spirometric values than the theoretical values established from a general population, except for forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV
