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

Working in cold environments presents unique physiological challenges, and this study sought to investigate the specific impacts of cold air exposure on ventilation during light-to-moderate physical activity simulating occupational work demands. Fourteen healthy adults (3 females; age: 24 ± 6 years) completed five 20-min treadmill walking bouts across three environmental conditions (20°C, 10°C, and 0°C) in a randomized, crossover design. Respiratory variables, including minute ventilation (VE), breathing frequency (RR), and tidal volume (Vt), were measured, as well as heart rate (HR) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. VE was significantly higher at 0°C compared to both 10°C (mean difference [Δ]: +2.08 L·min
