Assessment of metabolic flexibility by measuring maximal fat oxidation during submaximal intensity exercise: Can we improve the analytical procedures?
Article in Sports medicine and health science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06869486 (Insomnia´s Impact on DNA Stability, Cardio-metabolic Health and Lifestyle Behaviors), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
Assessment of maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) during a submaximal exercise test has been employed by many studies to investigate the differences in metabolic flexibility (MetFlex) across several populations. Nevertheless, many incorrect assumptions and methodological limitations exist in the procedures employed by previous studies, which might lead to misinterpretation of the reported findings. Considering the data retrieved from 19 trained men (Age: [27 ± 4] years; %Body fat: [16.4 ± 4.5]%; maximal oxygen consumption: [55.8 ± 5.3] mL·kg
