Performance determinants in Ski mountaineering sprint: data from the pre-2026 Olympic test event.

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
Purpose: Ski mountaineering (SkiMo) sprint is a new Olympic discipline. This study aimed to investigate the performance determinants at the Milan-Cortina Olympic Sprint Test Event through the analysis of overall sprint time in quarterfinals (SPT), section-specific contributions, and associations with laboratory-derived physiological parameters. Methods: SPT and seven section splits were analyzed across quarterfinal rounds in qualified athletes ( Results: Time on uphill ski and foot section (UT) in quarterfinals accounted for the largest proportion of SPT variability (81.5%) and was strongly correlated with SPT ( Discussion: These findings suggest that sprint performance in SkiMo is associated with both high aerobic capacity, and strong performance in the early sections of the race (U1 and T1). Interestingly, lactate removal capacity was also associated with sprint performance, suggesting a potential role of peripheral muscle characteristics associated with lactate kinetics on fatigue resistance during a SkiMo sprint. Finally, the relatively greater contribution of T to sprint performance among world-class athletes highlights that SkiMo sprint is not only about physiological capacity but also about fast and error-free T under maximal effort.
