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

The aim of this review is twofold: 1) provide a brief discussion surrounding the interindividual variability that has been observed within the context of heat acclimation/acclimatization, body cooling, and hydration strategies, and 2) provide the reader with a practitioner-focused approach for creating individualized heat mitigation strategies. Considering individual variability for heat acclimation and heat acclimatization, various body cooling strategies, and hydration assessment/fluid replacement is important to maximize effects of these strategies, which lead to better performance and health outcomes. There are many factors to consider, and comprehensive approaches are required. The evidenced-informed decision is critical when making an individual approach, and data will help to make decisions effectively. It is important to keep adjusting the approach based on observed data as data is useful information to check if the approach is effective. Specific considerations to individualize the plan are discussed in this review.
