A longitudinal study on the interchangeable use of whole-body and local exercise thresholds in cycling.

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
purposeThis study longitudinally examined the interchangeable use of critical power (CP), the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and the respiratory compensation point (RCP) (i.e., whole-body thresholds), and breakpoints in muscle deoxygenation (m[HHb]
methodsTwenty-one participants were tested on two timepoints (T1 and T2) with a 4-week period (study 1: 10 women, age = 27 ± 3 years, [Formula: see text] = 43.2 ± 7.3 mL min
resultsNone of the thresholds were significantly different in study 1 ([Formula: see text]: P = 0.143, PO: P = 0.281), but differences between whole-body and local thresholds were observed in study 2 ([Formula: see text]: P < 0.001, PO: P = 0.024). Whole-body thresholds showed better 4-week test-retest reliability (TEM = 88-125 mL min
conclusionWhole-body thresholds (CP/MLSS/RCP) showed a close and consistent coherence taking into account a 3-6%-bandwidth of typical variation. In contrast, local thresholds (m[HHb]
