Transient changes in L-arginine, asymmetric and symmetric dimethyl arginine in triathletes following Norseman Xtreme Triathlon.

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
Arterial vasodilation is dependent on nitric oxide synthesized from L-arginine by endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Triathletes are reported to display altered serum concentrations of nitric oxide metabolites such as L-arginine, asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) shortly after completing long-distance triathlon races. In other populations, similar changes to nitric oxide metabolites are established risk markers of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to assess serum concentrations of metabolites for endothelial nitric oxide synthesis in triathletes one week following a long-distance triathlon race. In this prospective observational study, we used high-performance liquid chromatography to measure circulating concentrations of L-arginine, ADMA, and SDMA in triathletes. Venous blood samples were collected before, immediately after, day one, and one week following the triathlon race. Serum concentrations and L-arginine/ADMA ratio were determined for each time-point and compared to baseline. L-arginine/ADMA ratio was reduced on day one (147 ± 32 vs 163 ± 40,
