The use of ratings of perceived exertion for regulating exercise levels in rowing ergometry.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02883309 (Efficacy of an Intradialysis Combined Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Capacity Training Program on Disability Level and Physical Performance, in Patients With Chronic Renal Failure at a Kidney Replacement Therapy Unit.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the use of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) to estimate and regulate exercise intensity during rowing ergometry. Nine competitive male rowers [mean age 28.6 years, (SD 6.3)] completed two rowing trials on an ergometer. The first trial (estimation) consisted of an incremental protocol designed to elicit a range of work outputs (WO) and heart rates (HR). The subjects indicated their perception of effort using a 15-point scale at each intensity level. In the second trial (production), 7-14 days later, the subjects were asked to produce exercise intensities corresponding to five levels of RPE: 15, 11, 17, 13, and 19. Data analysis revealed high Pearson correlation coefficients between HR and RPE (r = 0.95, P < 0.01) and WO and RPE (r = 0.96, P < 0.01) during the estimation trial. In addition, significant correlations (P < 0.01) were obtained between the estimation and production trials for HR (r = 0.82) and WO (r = 0.84). Posthoc analysis of variance revealed that the observed differences in mean HR were not significant (P > 0.05) at three of the five intensity levels (RPE 15, 17 and 19), but were at the two lowest RPE levels (11 and 13). Significant mean differences in WO were seen at all but RPE 17. These data support the validity of the RPE scale as a measure of physiological strain among competitive male rowers, and offer support for its use as a method of regulating the intensity of rowing ergometry, especially at higher levels.
