Muscle oxygenation levels in smokers and non-smokers during exercise: insights from a university-based study.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundToday, as the age of smoking is decreasing, awareness of the harms of tobacco is still not at a sufficient level among young people. In our study, we aimed to compare the muscle oxygenation levels between students who smoke and those who do not smoke after the training on the harms of tobacco products.
methodsA total of 40 smokers and 30 non-smokers, aged 23 and studying at our university, participated between November 2024 and December 2024. Vastus lateralis muscle oxygenation was measured during the six-minute walking test (6MWT).
resultsIn smokers, exhaled CO, pulse at the beginning and end of 6MWT, Borg dyspnea, and fatigue scores were significantly higher than in non-smokers (p < 0.001). Maximum and minimum SmO
conclusionSmoking causes a decrease in muscle oxygenation depending on the amount smoked. We believe that this cumulative burden may be a precursor to comorbidities that develop in later ages.
