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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the influence of body composition variables, focusing on the extracellular water level and gender difference, on infrared thermography detection during and post exercise. Method: One hundred two participants were included in the study. Body composition was analyzed by bioimpedance, and three thermal imaging were taken before, at the end, and 5 min after a vigorous exercise. First, participants were divided by gender, and differences in skin temperature variation during exercise were highlighted. In the second analysis, the subjects were divided into three groups depending on the percentage of extracellular water. The correlation between body composition variables and skin temperature at the 3-time points was studied. Results: an association between extracellular water (%) and basal thigh temperature both in the dominant leg (r: -0.27, Conclusion: Water retention could influence basal skin temperature and the temperature variation following vigorous exercise. A value of less than 45% of extracellular water should be considered for reliable use of thermal imaging. Further studies are needed to confirm this value.
