Influence of 4-week lower extremity high-intensity interval training on energy metabolism and maximal oxygen uptake of elite swimmers.
Trial report in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: This study examines the effects of a 4-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on energy metabolism and maximal oxygen uptake (VO Methods: Twenty-four competitive swimmers were randomly assigned to either an HIIT experimental group or a control group. The experimental group underwent a structured 4-week lower-limb HIIT program, while the control group continued their regular training regimen. Energy metabolism parameters and VO Results: The HIIT group exhibited significant improvements in all energy metabolism parameters and VO Conclusion: The findings confirm that a 4-week lower-limb HIIT program significantly enhances energy metabolism and VO
