Nutrition for improved sports performance. Current issues on ergogenic aids.
Review in Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Several nutritional modifications have been used by athletes to improve performance. Recent attention has focused on high fat diets, branched-chain amino acids, creatine, carnitine, bicarbonate and phosphate loading, and caffeine. Of these, only caffeine, which is present in food but has no known nutritional value, appears on the list of substances banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). While there is a theoretical basis for each of these diet manipulations to enhance performance, there are insufficient data to state unequivocally that high fat diets, branched-chain amino acids, carnitine or phosphate loading are effective. Caffeine has been found to enhance endurance performance, while creatine and bicarbonate loading were generally found to benefit short term strenuous exercise. Acute ingestion of these diet manipulations appears safe, although some, like caffeine and bicarbonate, can cause gastrointestinal disturbances or other problems in certain individuals. Long term use of high fat diets may have negative consequences on health. The safety of long term use of these diet manipulations has not been established.
