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

Power decline during maximal cycling sprints is commonly modeled using either the Parallel Shift Approach (PASA), representing fatigue as a time-dependent downward shift of the linear force-velocity (F-v) relationship, or the Pedal Stroke-Based Approach (PESA), which assumes a constant relative power loss per pedal stroke (Δ). This study compared their predictive accuracy, convergence behavior, and practical applicability across sprint duration and cadences. Twelve elite track sprint cyclists (6 female and 6 male) performed 45 s maximal sprints at a fixed cadence of 135 rpm. Both models were calibrated using individual F-v profiles and evaluated using RMSE and R
