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

Spinning is an indoor static cycling training program, and spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis (SIR) is a type of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis causing systemic and local complications. In this case report, we would like to address its relevance to young women, especially first-time or unfit spinners, and the precautions that should be taken. A 24-year-old woman presented with bilateral thigh pain and dark brown-colored urine after a 45-minute first-time spinning session. She had a creatinine phosphokinase level of 108,166 U/L and myoglobinuria. She was diagnosed with SIR, treated with adequate hydration and urine alkalinization, and was discharged without any complications. Even though the reports are quite limited and focused mainly on the treatment, in view of the high incidence noted in a particular group of people, we recommend public awareness and low-intensity training for all young women engaging in their first indoor cycling session to prevent SIR.
