Longitudinal changes in body composition and water turnover in a world-class male judo athlete: A case report.
Article in Physiological reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Limited longitudinal data on the physiology of world-class athletes in weight-category sports are currently available. This case report describes 3-year longitudinal changes in body composition and water turnover (WT) in a world-class male judo athlete during his second to fourth collegiate years. WT and total body water were assessed using the deuterium dilution method, with measurements conducted annually during these 3 years. Throughout the study period, even during periods of recovery from injury, the participant maintained a rigorous training load of 11 sessions/week by substituting intensive resistance training for judo. Between the second and third years, his body mass increased by 2.7 kg, with fat-free mass (FFM) accounting for approximately three-quarters of this gain (1.9 kg). Similar increases in body mass and FFM were observed between the second and fourth years. Seasonal fluctuations in WT accompanied these changes, reflecting varying training loads and competition schedules. This report provides a proof of concept for the high-precision monitoring of world-class athletes, thus offering valuable insights into body water dynamics and seasonal physiological variations for developing safer weight-management strategies in judo and other combat sports.
