Change in mitochondrial capacity in elite triathletes, cyclists, and wrestlers over a training period of 28 days.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study investigated the change in mitochondrial capacity and VO
methodsSixteen elite athletes (23 ± 2.5 years; 176 ± 6 cm; 76 ± 8 kg; 65 ± 6.9 ml/min/kg) participated. Mitochondrial capacity was assessed before (pre) and after (post) a 28-day training period by measuring the increase in deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) in the m. vastus lateralis during three consecutive one-minute rapid cuff occlusion periods using near-infrared spectroscopy. VO
resultsThe analyses revealed significant differences between pre- and post-measurements, with significant improvements in the second (Δτ2 = - 3.4 ± 2.7 s, p = 0.001) and third (Δτ3 = - 5.0 ± 5.1 s, p = 0.006) occlusion period. Correlation analyses demonstrated a moderate negative relationship between the first occlusion tau (τ) rate and VO
conclusionThe changes in τ rates indicate significant improvements in mitochondrial capacity over a period of 28 days in elite athletes, underscoring the utility of NIRS-derived τ rates for monitoring changes in elite athletes.
