Cluster-set rest
Article in PeerJ, 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
Background: This study examined the effects of cluster-set rest and traditional rest interval configurations during repeated sprint training on creatine phosphokinase enzyme (CPK) activity, sprint abilities, and 100-m sprint performance. Methods: The study was carried out using a nonrandomized experimental design involving twenty well-trained male sprinters. Participants were assigned to two equally sized groups: the Cluster Set Rest Group (CSRG) and the Traditional Rest Group (TRG). The eight-week training intervention included 24 sessions, with three weekly training days. All variables were assessed pre- and post-intervention. CPK activity was assessed through biochemical analysis, while sprint abilities were evaluated using the 0-40 m sprint and repeated sprint ability 6 × 30-m (RSAT 6 × 30) tests. The 100-m sprint time (100 m SP time) was measured in accordance with the regulations set forth by world athletics. Results: Significant group × time interactions were identified using a 2 × 2 mixed-factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for CPK activity ( Discussion: These findings highlight the efficacy of cluster-set rest (CSR) protocols in enhancing energy-system function and sprint performance, providing practical implications for the design of high-intensity sprint-training programs. These results may assist coaches and athletes in designing sprint-training programs that optimize recovery distribution and performance outcomes.
