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

purposeNear-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers a promising non-invasive method to assess muscle oxygenation in real time. While asymmetries in muscle oxygen saturation (SmO

methodsForty-eight participants (20 female, Age = 21.6 ± 1.5 years) performed two graded treadmill exercise tests, 14 days apart. The Moxy Monitor was placed bilaterally on the vastus lateralis to measure SmO

resultsNo significant side effects were found for either group (ALL p = .759, ATT<7mm p = .713 and ATT>7mm p = .890). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a small mean bias (ALL: -0.34%, ATT<7mm: - 0.48%, ATT>7mm: -0.22%) with wide limits of agreement between the legs.

conclusionNo systematic differences between SmO
