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

Inter-set blood-flow restriction (BFR) may increase the physiological stimulus of repeated-sprint exercise without compromising mechanical output, but evidence in trained athletes is limited. In a randomized crossover design, 26 national-level male badminton players completed three 5 × 5-s cycling sprints (25-s intra-set rest, 3.5-min inter-set recovery). During the first two recoveries, cuffs were inflated to 130 mmHg (BFR) or 20 mmHg (sham-BFR). Outcomes included power output, vastus lateralis muscle oxygenation (SmO
