Effects of two work-to-rest ratios on physiological, neuromuscular, and RPE responses during taekwondo-specific HIIT.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate the effects of different work: rest (W: R) ratios on physiological, neuromuscular, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) responses during taekwondo-specific high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
methodsThirteen moderate-trained taekwondo athletes completed a familiarization session and two HIIT trials which consisted of three rounds of 2 min roundhouse kicks with 1 min of rest in between. The W: R ratio protocols were: 1:0.5 (10s:5s) and 1:5 (10s:50s). Heart rate (HR) and oxygen uptake (VO

conclusionPhysiological and RPE responses progressively increased with round during taekwondo-specific HIIT. The 1:0.5 W: R ratio induced greater physiological responses and RPE than 1:5 W: R ratio, thereby providing critical insights for the optimization of taekwondo-specific HIIT program design.
