A Short Maximal Effort Induces Greater Low-Frequency Fatigue than Prolonged Cycling in Highly-Trained Road Cyclists.

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
This study aimed to investigate the sensitivity of low-frequency fatigue (LFF) in high-level road cyclists following two distinct cycling efforts: a 30-minute maximal effort (30'TT) and a 4-minute maximal effort (4'TT). Twenty-one participants were included in this study (age: 22.8 ± 4.8 years; height: 169.9 ± 3.5 cm; body mass: 68.5 ± 8.5 kg), and LFF, perceived fatigue and muscle soreness were monitored at baseline, 30 minutes and 24 hours post-fatigue protocol. Linear mixed model analysis was employed to assess the changes caused by protocol, time, and limb dominance, and a repeated-measures correlation was used to assess the association between LFF and perceived fatigue or muscle soreness. Significant fatigue was induced by both protocols (p < 0.001), with LFF scores returning to baseline after 24 hours. Notably, following the fatigue protocols, a significantly lower LFF score was observed after the 4'TT compared to the 30'TT (d = 0.39, p = 0.032). Furthermore, a large and significant association between LFF scores and perceived fatigue (rm
