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

Introduction: Sprint interval training (SIT), characterized by its "all-out" maximal-intensity efforts, elicits substantial energy output in a short duration, demonstrating superior anaerobic performance. This study compared the acute effects of different SIT protocols to identify the optimal training combination for enhancing anaerobic capacity in 200-m sprinters. Methods: Twelve male 200-m sprinters performed SIT sessions in a 2 (sprint duration: 20s, 30s) × 3 (load: 7.5%, 9%, 10% body mass (BM)) × 4 (repetitions) design with 4-min inter-set rest, assessed via anaerobic power, electromyography (EMG), and blood lactate measures. Results: (1) Duration and load significantly affected peak power (PP), mean power (MP), and fatigue index (FI) (P < 0.05); (2) Sprint duration significantly influenced lower-limb integrated EMG (IEMG) and median frequency (MPF) (P < 0.05), with no notable interaction effects; (3) Both duration and load significantly modulated muscle activation (RMS%) in the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, and vastus lateralis (P < 0.05), but not in the gastrocnemius; (4) Duration significantly increased maximal blood lactate, accumulated lactate, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (P < 0.05), whereas load had no independent effect; (5) The interaction between duration and load exhibited highly significant effects on anaerobic performance (P < 0.01). Conclusion: A high-intensity SIT protocol comprising 4 × 20s all-out sprints at 10%BM load with 4-min rest intervals optimally enhances 200-m sprinters' anaerobic capacity through multidimensional physiological stimuli, providing an effective training strategy for performance optimization.
