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

A total of 75% of the oxygen humans inhale is exhaled without being utilized. To help organisms better utilize oxygen in exercise training, we designed the singlet oxygen energy generator (SOEG), a device that converts ambient air into energy-rich oxygen. The SOEG comprises an LED light source, a photosensitizer kit, and an air pump. Based on the principle of photosynthesis, the photosensitizer activates oxygen to produce excited-state singlet oxygen under the irradiation of light, which releases about 94 kJ/mol of singlet oxygen energy (SOE) after the relaxation process. After comparing data from 14 volunteers, we found that inhaling SOE during exercise significantly reduces energy consumption during running, decreases oxygen uptake, and improves running efficiency. At the same time, SOE effectively lowers blood lactate levels and improves oxygen utilization, indicating that SOE may enhance endurance and efficiency during exercise.
