Assessment of Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2 Max) in Athletes and Nonathletes Assessed in Sports Physiology Laboratory.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundAthletes' physical prowess plays a crucial role in their ability to succeed in any sporting endeavor. Each athlete on the field must have an exceptional aerobic capacity to withstand fierce competition and stringent regulatory guidelines. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO
methodsThis cross-sectional study, which examined participants aged 17-25, included 30 athletes (cases) and 120 age- and sex-matched controls. The VO
resultsThe mean age of male athletes was 20.51 ± 2.69 years and of female athletes was 20.53 ± 1.62 years. The mean and standard deviation of VO
conclusionThis study showed significantly (p < 0.001) higher VO2 max levels in athletes of both genders compared to their age- and sex-matched controls upon exercise on the treadmill and cycle ergometer. This study underscores the significance of better cardiorespiratory fitness in athletes than nonathletes, giving pertinent insights about their aerobic capacity, which is precisely measured and expressed in terms of VO
