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

backgroundTask failure during high-intensity exercise may reflect the convergence of intramuscular, neural, perceptual, and behavioral boundaries rather than the consequence of a single fatigue mechanism.

methodsThis hypothesis-generating narrative review proposes the Pi-afferent-effort model of task failure during high-intensity exercise and applies the model to targeted performance nutrition.

resultsRapid ATP turnover increases inorganic phosphate (Pi), while phosphocreatine breakdown through the creatine kinase reaction buffers ATP availability. As phosphate-linked disturbance progresses, Pi may impair crossbridge function, Ca

conclusionsFuture studies should combine metabolic, neuromuscular, perceptual, and performance outcomes to determine whether supplements reduce work-matched strain, increase tolerance of terminal strain, or both.
