Elevated Humidity Impairs Evaporative Heat Loss and Self-Paced Exercise Performance in the Heat.
Article in Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This study investigated the effects of absolute humidity on heat dissipation and subsequent thermal, cardiovascular, and performance responses during self-paced exercise in the heat. Twelve trained male cyclists performed a 700-kJ time trial in four different humidity conditions (Low: 1.6 kPa, Moderate: 2.5 kPa, High: 3.5 kPa, and Very high: 4.5 kPa) in 33°C. The gradient in partial water vapor pressure at the saturated skin surface and in air, which determines sweat evaporation, decreased significantly with increasing humidity (Low: 3.53 ± 0.30 kPa, Moderate: 2.74 ± 0.24 kPa, High: 1.99 ± 0.20 kPa, Very high: 1.19 ± 0.16 kPa; p < 0.001). The maximum evaporative capacity of the environment (E
