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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the acute and chronic effects of a standard race load and an eight-week training period on heart rate and respiratory function parameters in short-, middle-, and long-distance runners.
methodsThe study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a repeated-measures design. The research group consisted of short-distance (n = 11), middle-distance (n = 13), and long-distance (n = 10) female runners who were actively engaged in athletics. Resting, post-race, and recovery heart rate values (1 and 15 min post-exercise) were measured. Respiratory function parameters (FVC, FEV1, and PEF) were assessed before and immediately after exercise. Measurements were conducted at baseline and repeated after an eight-week training period. A mixed-design repeated-measures ANOVA was used to examine the effects of group, time, and period on physiological variables.
resultsResting heart rate values were similar in short- and middle-distance runners, whereas long-distance runners exhibited lower values. Heart rate responses during post-race and recovery periods differed across disciplines, with short-distance runners showing a faster decline in the early recovery phase and long-distance runners reaching lower levels during the later recovery stage. Regarding respiratory function, post-exercise increases in FVC were observed in short- and middle-distance runners during the second measurement period, while FEV1 remained unchanged. PEF values increased only in short-distance runners during the same period. The eight-week training period did not significantly affect heart rate, and a significant increase was observed in FVC, whereas FEV1 remained unchanged. Recovery patterns also differed between disciplines, with short-distance runners showing a faster decline in heart rate during the early recovery phase, whereas long distance runners reached lower heart rate values during the later stages of recovery. These findings indicate that the changes observed following an 8-week period differ across running disciplines and exhibit a discipline-specific pattern.
