Mixed pre-cooling improves thermal strain but not running performance in female endurance athletes exercising in the heat across the menstrual cycle.
Article in Temperature (Austin, Tex.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 effect of mixed pre-cooling (cooling vest and ice-slurry) on thermal and cardiovascular strain and performance in unacclimatized females exercising in the heat during menstrual cycle (MC) Phase-1 (low estrogen and progesterone) and Phase-4 (moderate estrogen and high progesterone). In a randomized crossover design, 11 runners completed two trials in each MC Phase: mixed pre-cooling (wearing a cooling vest around the torso for 30 min and ingesting 7.5 g.kg
