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
Objective: In competitive rowing, the winter training phase is a conventional periodized block focused on foundational physiological development through land-based strength and power training. The primary aim of this phase is to enhance athletes' force-generating capabilities and metabolic resilience. This study investigated the effects of such a 16-week periodized winter training block on anaerobic capacity and energy expenditure during a 30-s all-out rowing test in elite female rowers. Methods: Five elite female rowers (age: 20.0 ± 2.5 years; BMI: 20.8 ± 0.3 kg/m Results: Following winter training, significant improvements were observed during the 30-s all-out rowing test in mean power output (+14.1%), anaerobic energy contribution (+22.0%), and total energy expenditure (+12.1%), alongside a reduction in aerobic contribution (-16.9%) and oxygen uptake (p < 0.05). Peak post-test blood lactate concentration also increased significantly (p < 0.05). No changes were detected in body mass or energy utilization efficiency (p > 0.05). The incremental test confirmed that V̇O Conclusion: Winter training markedly enhanced anaerobic capacity in elite female rowers, facilitated by a pronounced metabolic shift toward anaerobic pathways. Despite increased total energy expenditure, energy efficiency remained unchanged, suggesting improvements were driven primarily by physiological rather than technical adaptations. These findings underscore the importance of anaerobic development in competitive rowing performance.
