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

This study examines whether model-derived heart rate-power output (HR-PO) parameters changed across consecutive stages of elite under-23 stage races and whether their longitudinal trajectories were associated with race-derived performance characteristics and stage context. Race files from the 2025 Tour de l'Avenir and Giro Next Gen were analysed, comprising 127 valid stage observations from 23 cyclist-race cases and 19 unique cyclists. For each stage, τ
