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

In recent decades, global temperature and humidity levels have surged. These increases in temperature and humidity are associated with higher risk of heat-related illnesses and impaired exercise performance, thereby prompting investigation into physiological responses to heat stress. Preconditioning strategies, including heat acclimation/acclimatization (HA), elicit physiological adaptations to enhance response to future heat exposures. Within HA research, an area of growing interest is examination of subcellular adaptations that contribute to whole-body acclimation, such as changes to/within mitochondria. External heat stress alters molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetic function, but the relationship between these alterations and whole-body HA adaptations remains relatively unknown. Therefore, this review provides a detailed examination of the impact of HA on mitochondria across cell models, rodent models, and humans, linking these changes to exercise performance. Based on the current evidence, we propose a HA protocol aimed at promoting mitochondrial adaptations while maximizing traditional HA benefits. Lastly, we identify key areas for future research to further explore and enhance our understanding of mitochondrial responses to HA.
