Synergistic effects of immediate post-sprint interval training low-dose hyperbaric oxygen on aerobic and anaerobic performance and recovery indicators: a four-week randomized controlled trial.
Trial report 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 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study investigated whether, and to what extent, immediate post-sprint interval training (SIT) low-dose hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) could augment adaptations in aerobic and anaerobic performance and recovery indicators in healthy men.
methodsA 4-week randomized controlled trial assigned 24 healthy men to either the SIT + HBO or SIT-only groups. Outcomes assessed pre- and post-intervention included aerobic and anaerobic performance, body composition, countermovement jump (CMJ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Profile of Mood States (POMS), and heart rate variability (HRV).
resultsBoth groups significantly improved aerobic performance and body composition, with no between-group differences. However, SIT + HBO led to greater gains in anaerobic power indices: peak power (PP) (Δ: + 21.6% vs. + 11.9%, g = 0.69), peak power relative to body mass (PP kg⁻
conclusionSIT improved aerobic and anaerobic performance and fat mass. Immediate post-SIT low-dose HBO yielded a synergistic benefit for anaerobic power, but not for aerobic or recovery outcomes. The small sample may have limited power and generalizability, increasing the risk of Type II errors. Future studies should clarify mechanisms and refine protocols via larger placebo-controlled trials with biomarkers.
