Inadequate fluid replacement during prolonged cycling in the heat impairs time trial performance independent of serum sodium concentrations.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeHypohydration of ≥ 2% body mass loss (BML) can impair cycling performance in the heat; however, it remains unclear whether this is primarily due to the body water deficit itself or the concomitant, typically observed increase in serum sodium concentration (S
methodsEleven male cyclists (35 ± 6 years, VȮ
resultsBML was greater in 60FR at all time-points (P < 0.01), whereas S
conclusionFluid replacement resulting in BML > 2% impairs thermoregulation and cycling performance in the heat, compared to maintaining BML < 2%, despite no differences in S
