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

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of cluster set resistance training combined with high-intensity interval training (CSRT-HIIT) on the body composition, cardiovascular and muscular fitness of untrained young men. Methods: Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to the CSRT-HIIT or traditional resistance training combined with high-intensity interval training (TRT-HIIT). Both groups had cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness measured before and after the intervention. Results: Compared to the baseline, significant increases were observed in the 1RM weights for squat, bench press, deadlift, and rowing, as well as the maximum training volume at 70% 1RM, maximum oxygen uptake, standing long jump, and the thickness of the pectoralis major, biceps brachii, and rectus femoris in both the CSRT-HIIT and TRT-HIIT groups after the intervention, with a significant decrease in body fat percentage ( Conclusion: Twelve weeks of both CSRT-HIIT and TRT-HIIT significantly improved cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in untrained young men, demonstrating that the novel CSRT-HIIT is an equally effective alternative to traditional TRT-HIIT.
