Does the terrain influence running critical power and biomechanics? An in-field study with highly trained trail runners.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. 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
This study aimed to assess the effects of three flat running surfaces (i.e. athletic track, road, and gravel) on the critical power (CP) parameters and running patterns of highly trained trail runners. Within a two-week timeframe, thirteen male and seven female trail runners underwent three testing sessions to evaluate CP and the work over CP (W'). Each session comprised two time trials of 9 and 3 minutes, separated by a 30-min rest, in which a Stryd running power meter was used to collect the data. The CP and W' were subsequently determined using the inverse of time linear CP model. There were no significant differences in CP across the different surfaces (F
