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

Introduction: Reduced-Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) is a 10-min cycling regimen that has improved glucose tolerance in adults with metabolic dysfunction. However, the ecological relevance of REHIT for application in healthy, middle-aged men as a prevention tool to improve glucose control remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a single bout of REHIT following a mixed meal on 3h post-prandial and 24h blood glucose measures in physically active, middle-aged men compared to a non-exercise control condition (Non-EX). Methods: Twenty physically active men (Age: 52 ± 8 years; VO Results: REHIT led to a significantly shorter glucose peak-to-nadir ( Conclusion: While REHIT led to transient reductions in post-prandial glucose in active middle-aged men, there was no clinically meaningful reduction in 3h post-prandial or 24h glucose control.
