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

E. A. Müller (1950) has introduced a procedure for the measurement of the "Leistungspulsindex" (LPI) based on the determination of a linear regression between heart rate increase and work load. For this purpose the work load on a bicycle ergometer is increased in proportion to time (about 10 W/min) and the heart rate is recorded continuously. We have performed measurements in children (10--11 years of age) and found that the above mentioned regression is markedly nonlinear and can be described best by two overlapping linear regression lines with different slopes (b11 and b12). We propose that under these conditions the regression coefficient b11 of the first part of the relation can be assumed as LPI. In our analysis we found the linear part of the heart rate to increase between the end of min 2 and min 6 (+/- 1.4) of the experiment in boys. In girls we found the linear part of the regression only until min 3.8 (+/- 1.4). One consequence of our results is related to the calculation of the PWC170 by linear extrapolation which appears to be impossible in all cases in which the relation between work load and heart rate is nonlinear. It seems possible to relate that part of the heart rate increase where the slope suddenly changes to the endurance limit.
