The Effect of Three Precooling Methods on Endurance Performance in Active Men.
Article in International journal of exercise science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The study aimed to compare the effect of three precooling techniques (internal, external, and combined) on the time to reach exhaustion in active men. Eight active men (23 ± 2 yrs; 178 ± 6 cm; 73 ± 11 kg) participated] in 4 exhaustive test sessions with a minimum power output of 40Wmax. Sessions included consumption of 7.5 grams of ice water with a temperature of -1 degree per kilogram of body weight, cold towels (4-6°C) used to cool the skin surface], a combination of ice water consumption and a towel cooling, and a control session in which subjects cycled to reach exhaustion without any cooling techniques. Data was analyzed using a mixed-method (treatment time) repeated-measures ANOVA was with significance accepted at p<0.05. The skin surface temperature in the combined session and towel session was significantly lower than the ice session (p<0.001). The central temperature in the combined and ice slurry sessions was significantly lower at the beginning and end of the activity compared to the towel session (p<0.01). Exhaustion time and distance traveled in the combined session were significantly longer compared to the ice slurry and control sessions (p<0.01). In the towel session, exhaustion time was significantly greater] than the control session (p <0.04). The rate of sweating in the ice slurry session was significantly lower than the control session (p <0.01). The perception of pressure in the combined session was significantly lower than the ice slurry and control sessions (p<0.05). The results indicate that a combination of two techniques (internal and external cooling) can have a greater effect on measures of endurance performance.
