Development of peak oxygen uptake from 11-16 years determined using both treadmill and cycle ergometry.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
purposesTo investigate the development of peak oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]) assessed on both a treadmill and a cycle ergometer in relation with sex and concurrent changes in age, body mass, fat-free mass (FFM), and maturity status and to evaluate currently proposed 'clinical red flags' or health-related cut-points for peak [Formula: see text].
methodsMultiplicative multilevel modelling, which enables the effects of variables to be partitioned concurrently within an allometric framework, was used to analyze the peak [Formula: see text]s of 138 (72 boys) students initially aged 11-14 years and tested on three annual occasions. Models were founded on 640 (340 from boys) determinations of peak [Formula: see text], supported by anthropometric measures and maturity status.
resultsMean peak [Formula: see text]s were 11-14% higher on a treadmill. The data did not meet the statistical assumptions underpinning ratio scaling of peak [Formula: see text] with body mass. With body mass appropriately controlled for boys' peak [Formula: see text]s were higher than girls' values and the difference increased with age. The development of peak [Formula: see text] was sex-specific, but within sex models were similar on both ergometers with FFM the dominant anthropometric factor.
conclusionsData should not be pooled for analysis but data from either ergometer can be used independently to interpret the development of peak [Formula: see text] in youth. On both ergometers and in both sexes, FFM is the most powerful morphological influence on the development of peak [Formula: see text]. 'Clinical red flags' or health-related cut-points proposed without consideration of exercise mode and founded on peak [Formula: see text] in ratio with body mass are fallacious.
