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

purposePrior viral infection has been suggested to increase exertional heatstroke (EHS) risk. This study examined physiological and immune responses in persons with prior clinical diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, who were challenged with 1 h of cycling exercise in hot, moderately humid ambient conditions.

methodsFourteen men and six women (age: 21 ± 1 years, stature: 1.7 ± 0.1 m, mass: 70.7 ± 2.6 kg, VO

resultsAs compared to CONTROL, prior SARS-CoV-2 infection did not cause greater elevations in HR, T

conclusionsPrior SARS-CoV-2 infection did not alter metabolic responses or increase the rate of rise in HR, T
