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

The aim of this study was to compare the adaptive responses to repeated sprint training in heat (RSHT) on exercise performance under temperate conditions between males and females. Active males and females completed 7 weeks of repeated sprint training twice a week in temperate (CON, 20°C, 55% relative humidity (RH), males: n = 12, females: n = 13) or hot (HEAT, 30°C, 60% RH, males: n = 12, females: n = 14) conditions. Before and after training, a repeated sprint ability test (RSA) was performed (10-s cycle sprints with 20-s recovery between sprints, until exhaustion), and aerobic and anaerobic qualities were evaluated in temperate conditions. Thermoregulatory responses were measured on Training 1 and 12 (TR1 and TR12). Sprint number during RSA increased after HEAT from 15 to 21 in males and from 8 to 13 in females (p < 0.001), without significant changes after CON. VO
