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

The basal and exercise-induced heart rates, lactate levels, and the adrenaline and noradrenaline excretions in the urine were measured during different types of physical exercise and mental performance: during moderate physical exercise (Ia, n = 12), submaximal physical exercise (Ib, n = 24), during moderate mental performance (motorway driving, IIa and IIb, n = 25), higher-grade mental performance (driving car-simulator, III, n = 14), and during submaximal mental performance (car racing, IV, n = 48). The moderate physical exercise and moderate mental performance could not be differentiated from one another, or from the higher-grade mental performance using the above-mentioned parameters. Both the submaximal physical exercise and mental performance resulted in a comparable lactate acidosis, heart rate increase, and noradrenaline excretion; the excretion of adrenaline is, however, 3 times higher after submaximal mental performance, than after submaximal physical exercise. The ratio of adrenaline to noradrenaline excretion changed from approximately 1:4 (during physical exercise and moderate mental performance) to approximately 1:2 during submaximal mental performance. The excretion of adrenaline and the ratio of adrenaline to noradrenaline excretion can therefore be used to differentiate between higher-grade mental performance and physical exercise. These parameters can be easily measured without discomfort to the subjects.
