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

Children conceived through assisted reproductive technologies (ART) potentially display an increased cardiovascular morbidity. Despite cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength being key indicators of cardiovascular outcomes, they have not been investigated in ART offspring yet. This observational pilot cohort study aimed to evaluate CRF and muscle strength in ART participants and spontaneously conceived controls. Anthropometric variables, diet quality, level of physical activity, and sedentary behavior were evaluated. Participants performed a 6-min walking test (6MWT) and a 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT). 6MWT distance and the number of archived laps were assessed, the maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2
