1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe purpose of the study was to assess energy expenditure and substrate oxidation to treadmill running (TR) and cycle ergometer (CE) exercise in normal-weight (NW) and obese (OB) men.

methods27 NW (BMI: 21.2 ± 1.2 kg/m

resultsGross VO

conclusionsThese findings suggested that OB showed the higher energy cost than NW during CE at higher intensity and TR. CE without weight burden resulted in a greater fat oxidation rate and higher fat oxidation contribution in OB than NW. For cycling, net efficiency does not differ between NW and OB subjects. Exercise type and intensity are both factors influencing substrate oxidation during exercise. It is concluded that the exercise type and intensity have to be taken into account when prescribing for obese subjects. Future studies should apply equal relative physiological intensities to interpret the energy expenditure and substrate oxidation differences between normal and obese subjects.
