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

Age and biological sex have been suggested to affect sweating during exercise, but studies that have compared the local sweating response between boys and girls of different ages are limited. We standardized exercise intensity to the rate of metabolic heat production per body surface area and compared local sweat rate and the sweating onset threshold between boys, girls, adult males and adult females using Bayesian hierarchical modelling. Sixty-one children (29 females; 10-16 years old) and 20 adults (9 females; 19-37 years old) walked for 45 min at a fixed rate of metabolic heat production per body surface area (300 W·m
