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

Objective: This investigation compares the effects of two exercise prescriptions with equal energy consumption but different exercise intensity-determination methods on cardiopulmonary endurance in a population with metabolic syndrome (MetS). This investigation verified the effectiveness of individualized methods in patients with MetS undergoing moderate-intensity exercises. Methods: The participants were randomized into a standardized group or individualized group. Exercise intensity was determined based on the heart rate reserve method in the standardized group and ventilatory threshold model in the individualized group. The two groups completed 12 weeks of an exercise prescription with equal exercise frequency and energy consumption. Using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), primary and secondary cardiovascular endurance indicators were measured. The percentage change of PeakVO Results: A total of 40 MetS participants (75% male; mean age: 43.58 ± 11.73; body mass index: 30.39 ± 4.26) completed all exercise interventions. The PeakVO Conclusion: The ventilatory threshold model-based individualized method has advantages in the MetS population. However, the responsiveness to the individualized method did not reach 100% in patients with MetS.
