Palm Cooling's Heart Rate and Thermal Impact on Exercise in Multiple Sclerosis Patients.
Article in Sports medicine international open, 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
Heat strain in multiple sclerosis patients during exercise limits their benefits from this treatment. One prior study examined this topic but did not measure thermal outcomes and constitutes a knowledge gap. The current pilot study assessed palm cooling for its impact on heart rates and thermal measures. Using a randomized within-subjects design, nine multiple sclerosis patients performed two 25-minute cycle ergometry workouts against 65 and 45% of their Astrand-Rhyming-based workloads. Heart rates, thermal flux, palm and tympanic temperatures were examined using two-way analyses of variance with repeated measures per independent variable. To control the family-wise error rate, a Bonferroni correction was applied at a lower α level of 0.0024. Paired
