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

Cardiovascular disease is more prevalent in individuals of Black-African (BA) and South-Asian (SA) descent than White-European (WE) counterparts, with vascular dysfunction identified as contributing to this disparity. Chronic heat therapy can elicit positive vascular adaptations, potentially underpinned by the repeated cardiovascular strain experienced during acute heat exposures. This study examined the cutaneous peripheral microvascular responses following acute hot (HWI) and thermoneutral (CON) water immersion between males of WE, BA, and SA descent. Thirty-one young, healthy WE (
