Acute physiological responses during repeated sprint training with maximum end-expiratory breath-holds.
Article 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 3 papers.
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
purposeRepeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) performed with voluntary hypoventilation at low lung volumes (RSH-VHL) has been proposed as an alternative to RSH. Recently, repeated sprint training combined with end-expiratory breath hold until the breaking point (RSH-UBP) has been suggested as a more effective stimulus. The aim of this study was to compare the physiological responses of repeated sprint training in normoxia (RSN), RSH-VHL and RSH-UBP. We hypothesized that RSH-UBP would induce greater hypercapnic and hypoxemic stress compared to the other conditions and therefore greater physiological responses.
methodsTen healthy active men participated in three repeated sprint exercise sessions on ergocycle. Pulse oxygen saturation (SpO
resultsTime spent below 96% SpO
conclusionOverall, RSH-VHL emerged as the most effective condition for inducing large hypercapnic and hypoxemic stimuli while maintaining the training load during repeated sprint training, whereas RSH-UBP succeeded in inducing similar hypercapnic and hypoxic stress with shorter sprint durations.
