1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Human locomotion contains innate variability which may provide health insights. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) has been used to quantify the temporal structure of variability for treadmill running, although it has been less commonly applied to uncontrolled overground running. This study aimed to determine how running gait complexity changes in response to gradient and elapsed exercise duration during uncontrolled overground running. Sixty-eight participants completed an overground, mass-participation five-kilometre run (a parkrun). Stride times were recorded using an inertial measurement unit mounted on the distal shank. Data were divided into four consecutive intervals (uphill lap 1, downhill lap 1, uphill lap 2, downhill lap 2). The magnitude (SD) and structure (DFA) of stride time variability were compared across elapsed exercise duration and gradient using a repeated-measures ANOVA. Participants maintained consistent stride times throughout the run. Stride time DFA-α displayed a moderate decrease (
