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

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) significantly impacts total daily energy expenditure, particularly on training days, and varies among trained individuals. Studies estimating RMR in this population show notable discrepancies. This study aimed to develop and validate new bioelectrical impedance analysis-based (BIA) RMR equations for young athletes, using a calibration and a validation group of 219 and 51 participants, respectively. RMR was measured via indirect calorimetry, while body composition was assessed through DXA and BIA. Correlation and agreement were evaluated by using Pearson's correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman analysis. Multiple linear regression was applied for the estimation of RMR and a one-way ANOVA was used to compare the new BIA-based equations with other specific formulas. A significant correlation was noted between the BIA and DXA measurements. The final equation, applicable to both genders, was significantly correlated with intracellular water (ICW) and trunk fat, predicting 71.1% of RMR variance. When analyzed separately, body weight and protein displayed a moderate correlation with RMR in men (r = 0.616,
