Regional tissue oxygenation during high-intensity exercise following voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea versus inspiratory threshold loading in endurance-trained individuals: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This study contrasted the effects of five weeks of voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea (VIH) versus inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) on tissue oxygenation at the prefrontal cortex (PFC), respiratory muscles (m.Intercostales), and locomotor muscles (m.Vastus Lateralis) during high intensity constant load cycling (CLT) in endurance trained individuals. Twenty participants (14 men, 6 women) were randomly assigned to VIH (n = 10) or ITL (n = 10) training. Before and after intervention, participants completed a CLT at 80% of peak power output until exhaustion. Tissue oxygenation was continuously monitored using near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at three sites. Changes in oxygenated (Δ[O2Hb]), deoxygenated (Δ[HHb]), and total hemoglobin (Δ[tHb]), along with tissue saturation index (TSI), were analyzed using a three–way ANOVA. VIH significantly improved peak oxygen–uptake (p = 0.016), maximal lung ventilation (p = 0.004), respiratory rate (p = 0.030), and tidal volume (p = 0.022), whereas ITL significantly increased maximal inspiratory pressure (p = 0.003). A significant main effect of time (%CLT) was observed for all NIRS variables at the three measurement sites (p < 0.05), except TSI at the PFC and Δ[O2Hb] at the m.Vastus Lateralis. A main effect of training was detected only for TSI at the m.Vastus Lateralis (p = 0.036, η²p = 0.22; mean difference 3.2%, 95% CI: 0.3 to 6.1%), though direct physiological interpretation requires caution given the modest effect magnitude. No significant group effects or interactions were observed. VIH and ITL elicit distinct adaptations in respiratory function and aerobic capacity without modifying regional tissue oxygenation dynamics during high intensity exercise. The observed locomotor muscle TSI trend warrants confirmation in future studies.
