Effects of repeated sprint training with constant or incremental rest intervals on the decrement score, blood lactate concentration, and Wingate anaerobic test performance: a pilot study.

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
The effects of repeated sprint training with constant rest intervals (CRIs) vs. incremental rest intervals (IRIs), without matching the total rest duration, on muscle fatigue, glycolytic metabolism, and anaerobic work capacity remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effects of repeated sprint training with CRIs vs. IRIs on the decrement score, a measure of muscle fatigue; blood lactate concentration; and Wingate anaerobic test performance. We hypothesized that the decrement score, a measure of muscle fatigue, would be significantly lower after repeated sprint training with IRIs than after repeated sprint training with CRIs. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the blood lactate concentration would be equivalent with IRIs or CRIs and that the Wingate anaerobic test performance would be equally improved. In total, 17 male participants performed nine sessions of repeated sprint training (10 sets × 10-s maximal pedaling) within 3 weeks. They were assigned to either the group that underwent repeated sprint training with CRIs (30-s rest intervals between sets) or the same training with IRIs (30-s rest intervals until the fifth set, and then the rest interval was increased by 10-s for each set from the sixth set onwards). The decrement score showed no statistically significant difference between the groups in all sessions. The blood lactate concentration was measured in sessions one and nine and significantly decreased from sessions one to nine in both groups (
