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

backgroundHydration status plays a critical role in modulating oxidative stress during exercise, which can influence physical performance and recovery. While the acute effects of hydration on exercise-induced oxidative stress are well-documented, the long-term impact of chronic water intake remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic low water intake and exercise-induced oxidative stress, as well as changes in the phenotypic composition of peripheral immune cells.

methodsWe assessed the usual plain water intake of the participants (

resultsAt baseline, the LOW group showed higher concentrations of serum ROMs than the HIGH group (

conclusionHabitual low water intake was associated with elevated concentrations of free radical by-products in the resting state and impaired antioxidant capacity during acute exercise stress. In response to exercise stress, impaired redox balance in low-water drinkers resulted in accelerated cellular damage and increased myeloid cell recruitment. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining adequate habitual water intake to cope with exercise-induced oxidative stress and prevent excessive cellular stress responses. CLINICAL
