Dose-response relationship of taurine on endurance cycling performance under hot and humid conditions.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. 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
Purpose: To investigate the effects of different doses of taurine on endurance exercise performance and physiological parameters under hot and humid conditions. Methods: This study adopted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over design. Sixteen male university students majoring in physical education (age: 20.12 ± 1.12 years; training status: ≥3 endurance sessions/week) received 4 supplement conditions: (1) placebo (maltodextrin), (2) low-dose (1 g taurine), (3) medium-dose (4 g taurine), and (4) high-dose (6 g taurine). Participants performed a graded cycling test (initial 50 W, +50 W every 3 min at 70 rpm) until exhaustion in an environmental chamber (35 °C, 65% RH). Heart rate, core temperature, skin temperature, sweat rate, RPE, and thermal sensation were measured. Results: Compared to placebo, time to exhaustion was significantly longer in the medium-dose group ( Conclusion: Under hot and humid conditions, acute 4 g taurine supplementation enhanced time to exhaustion during graded cycling by improving thermoregulatory responses, whereas 1 g and 6 g doses showed no ergogenic effects.
