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.

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.

Abstract

Acute hormonal and neuromodulatory responses to maximal exertion are key indicators of physiological stress in elite athletes, yet it is unclear whether these responses vary with pre-exercise psychological state or differ by sex. This study examined sex-specific links between pre-exercise mood and acute physiological reactions. Twelve elite female (18.75 ± 0.75years) and sixteen elite male (19.43 ± 1.09 years) rowers performed a maximal-effort 2000 m test. Pre-exercise mood was assessed using the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Venous blood collected at PRE, POST, and 3-hour recovery (3H REC) was analyzed for cortisol, testosterone, serotonin, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and tryptophan. Two-way ANOVA and exploratory correlations evaluated sex-specific physiological and psychophysiological responses. Cortisol showed a significant Time × Group interaction ( Trial registration: This observational study was retrospectively registered atClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07243613).
