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

We examined the changes in blood and urine-based biomarkers of organ stress/injury and hydration before and after the 2024 Boston Marathon. Our primary aims were to compare responses between males and females, and euhydrated and hypohydrated runners. Seventy-two runners (34 males/38 females; 50 ± 11 yr; finish time 3:45 ± 0:32 h:min) had blood and/or urine samples taken before and after the race. Average temperature on a race day was 19 ± 3°C, and relative humidity was 47 ± 15%. Samples were assayed for markers of hydration, intestinal injury (intestinal fatty acid binding protein and soluble cluster of differentiation 14), skeletal muscle damage (creatine kinase), and acute kidney injury (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, creatinine). Markers of hydration were elevated from pre- to postrace, but only 25%-34% of runners were deemed hypohydrated postrace. All markers of organ stress/injury were increased postrace (fold change: 1.3-1455;
