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

Aim: This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe a large dataset of objective training load (TL) data from training sessions of age-group triathletes and to compare sex, age group, race distance preferences, and training phases. Methods: An online survey collected TL data from 95 age-group triathletes (18 female, 77 male) in 25 countries. The data included the distance, duration, average heart rate, and training stress score (TSS) for 34,731 training sessions. A Linear Mixed Model analysis was completed, and neither age nor sex was associated with TL ( Results: The TL of long-course triathletes (615 min./wk, 171 Km/wk, 574 TSS/wk) was higher than that of short-course athletes (507 min./wk, 118 Km/wk, 452 TSS/wk). There were differences ( Conclusions: Comparisons of TL with the cohort values reported here may be helpful to coaches and athletes, given the previous absence of objective age-group athlete datasets.
