Optimizing whole-body cryostimulation exposure duration: Effects of age, sex, and body mass index in achieving target skin temperature.

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
The optimal Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) exposure duration to reach the target skin temperature may vary depending on individual factors such as age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Maintaining skin temperatures below 13.6°C is necessary to trigger significant cold-induced analgesia. The aim of our study is to investigate how these variables influence the duration required to reach the analgesic threshold temperature of 13.6°C during WBC. A randomized cross-over controlled trial was conducted with 90 healthy participants, categorized by age, sex, and BMI. Each participant underwent two sessions: a 4 min WBC exposure at -50°C and a control session. Skin temperature was measured using a thermal imaging camera before, during and after cold exposure. Significant differences in skin temperature were observed between groups. Among young participants, normal-weight men required 4 minutes of exposure to reach the analgesic threshold (
