China Elite Athletes Cardiovascular hEath (China-ACE) Study: A Protocol for a Multicenter Prospective Cohort.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveExercise mediates cardiac adaptation in a dose-dependent manner, and each sport has unique demands on the cardiovascular system. Given the long-term effects of key confounding variables such as age, sex, and exercise dose, knowledge gained from one sport cannot be generalized to all sports. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the potential dose-response relationships between different sports and cardiovascular adaptations on a broader time scale, and to explore the regulatory role of key factors such as age and sex.
methodsThe China-ACE study will be a prospective longitudinal cohort study involving approximately 500 elite athletes of different sexes, ages, and sports (rowing, canoeing, cycling, triathlon, weightlifting, wrestling, judo, swimming, basketball, badminton, boxing, and beach volleyball) from three provincial sports centers. All athletes will undergo two screenings within 1 year, during which their exercise load and dose will be recorded via quantitative and semi-quantitative methods. The screening will include measuring cardiovascular function, body composition, electrocardiogram, heart rate variability, echocardiography, cardiopulmonary function, circulating biochemical markers, sex hormones, lower limb muscle function, and physical performance.
conclusionThe China-ACE study will elucidate the potential dose-response relationship between exercise load and cardiovascular adaptation, cardiopulmonary function, skeletal muscle function, and physical performance by continuously tracking the exercise load and exercise dose of athletes in different sports and exploring the potential role of age and sex in these adaptations. This may inform individualized training and cardiovascular prevention for athletes and extend the current understanding of sports cardiology.
