Remote-Based Brain Endurance Training Enhances Bench Press, Preacher Curl, and Jump Squat Performance in Recreational Athletes.
Trial report in European journal of sport science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Supervised laboratory-based brain endurance training (BET), a form of combined cognitive and exercise training, benefits exercise performance. Given that athletes often train unsupervised, we compared effects of unsupervised remote-based BET and standard exercise training (ET) on muscular endurance exercise performance. In a pre-test/training/post-test design, 22 adults completed 2 laboratory testing and 12 remote-based gym training sessions. In each laboratory testing session, they performed bench press, preacher curl, and squat jump repetitions to failure. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were obtained after performing 10 bench press and preacher curl repetitions. Participants were randomly assigned to BET (n = 10) or ET (n = 12) groups. In each remote training session, they performed upper body and core exercises. The BET group completed cognitive tasks whereas the ET group relaxed before/after exercise. From pre-test to post-test, the BET group increased repetitions to failure for total (+50%), bench press (+33%), preacher curl (+93%), and squat jump (+28%) repetitions whereas the ET group only increased repetitions for the total (+13%) but did not increase bench press (+13%), preacher curl (+30%), or squat jump (+12%) repetitions. These training-related improvements in total and squat jump repetitions were greater for the BET group than the exercise group. Moreover, from pre-test to post-test, the BET group reported lower RPE for bench press (-22%) and preacher curl (-12%) while the ET group did not change RPE for bench press (-9%) or preacher curl (-3%). In conclusion, remote-based BET improved muscular endurance performance and reduced perceived effort more than standard training in experienced recreational athletes.
