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

Blood flow restriction (BFR) and body cooling (BC) have been investigated separately during exercise, but little is known about their concurrent use. This study examined acute metabolic responses, respiratory physiology, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during interval training (IT) performed with combined BFR and BC (VASPER ON) compared with IT without BFR and BC (VASPER OFF). It was hypothesized that VASPER ON would elicit greater physiological demands. A total of 7 female and 19 male participants (20.2 ± 2.4 years) completed a 21-min IT exercise. In VASPER ON, the participants wore cuffs that simultaneously applied BFR and BC. Total oxygen consumption (TVO
