Is airway damage during physical exercise related to airway dehydration? Inputs from a computational model.

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
In healthy subjects, at low minute ventilation (V̇e) during physical exercise, the water content and temperature of the airways are well regulated. However, with the increase in V̇e, the bronchial mucosa becomes dehydrated and epithelial damage occurs. Our goal was to demonstrate the correspondence between the ventilatory threshold inducing epithelial damage, measured experimentally, and the dehydration threshold, estimated numerically. In 16 healthy adults, we assessed epithelial damage before and following a 30-min continuous cycling exercise at 70% of maximal work rate, by measuring the variation pre- to postexercise of serum club cell protein (cc16/cr). Blood samples were collected at rest, just at the end of the standardized 10-min warm-up, and immediately, 30 min and 60 min postexercise. Mean V̇e during exercise was kept for analysis. Airway water and heat losses were estimated using a computational model adapted to the experimental conditions and were compared with a literature-based threshold of bronchial dehydration. Eleven participants exceeded the threshold for bronchial dehydration during exercise (
