The effect of reducing work rate on total work done and time to task failure during severe intensity exercise.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study assesses the finite work capacity (W') above critical power (CP) when work rate is reduced during severe intensity exercise and whether reducing work rate immediately prior to task failure allows continued work above CP.
methods14 cyclists performed three experimental trials. Two consisted of exercising at a fixed work rate (WR) that depleted 70% of W' in 90 s and 180 s respectively, after which work rate was reduced to CP + 20 W and continued until task failure. The third consisted of exercising at a fixed work rate to achieve task failure in 5 min (P
resultsCompared to WORK
conclusionW' is not a fixed parameter. When W' was partially depleted work above CP continued more than predicted. Moreover, when W' is theoretically 0 kJ, work can continue above CP, if work rate is reduced.
