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

A number of studies have identified the existence of two ventilation thresholds during ramp or incremental exercise to exhaustion on the cycle ergometer. This study was undertaken to investigate whether two threshold turnpoints could be identified in blood lactate concentration data collected at such times. Five trained athletes provided serial blood samples on several occasions each during a 3-month period of training. Blood lactate concentration was analysed by fitting models with no, one or two turnpoints. Ordinary residuals from the first two models were often found to exhibit an oscillatory behaviour consistent with the existence of two turnpoints in lactate concentration. A comparative analysis of goodness of fit of these models revealed that the model with two turnpoints was significantly better than either of the simpler models. This suggests that two transitions exist, which divide the time domain for blood lactate concentration in ramp exercise into three regions. These two transitions may correspond to the two ventilation thresholds.
