The effect of evening swimming exercise on sleep parameters in male swimmers.
Article in Physiological 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
We evaluated the effects of evening swimming exercise on sleep variables in male swimmers. In a crossover design, 12 competitive male swimmers completed two trials (6:30-8:30 pm): the high-intensity swimming exercise condition (EX) and no-exercise condition (CON). Sleep quality was assessed using electroencephalography, and core body temperature (CBT) was evaluated by the pill type thermometer. Average CBT during the intervention period was significantly higher in EX (37.8°C ± 0.3°C) compared with CON (37.1°C ± 0.2°C, p < 0.05). However, at bedtime (11:00 pm), CBT did not differ significantly between the conditions (37.2°C ± 0.2°C in EX vs. 37.2°C ± 0.3°C in CON, p > 0.05). In EX, the duration and the percentage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were significantly lower (81.4 ± 26.7 min in EX vs. 107.6 ± 39.5 min in CON, p < 0.05), and wake after sleep onset was significantly higher (23.5 ± 39.6 min in EX vs. 3.4 ± 2.5 min in CON, p < 0.05). However, other sleep variables did not differ significantly between the conditions (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that evening swimming exercise induced selective rather than generalized impairments in sleep.
