Dose-dependent effects of sodium bicarbonate supplementation combined with sprint interval training on performance adaptations in basketball players: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 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
backgroundSprint interval training (SIT) effectively improves physical performance in team-sport athletes, while sodium bicarbonate (Sb) supplementation may enhance training adaptations. However, the dose-dependent effects of Sb during SIT remain unclear in basketball players. Therefore, this study examined the effects of two Sb doses combined with SIT on physical performance adaptations in basketball players.
methodsForty trained male basketball players (age: 21.6 ± 2.0 years, height: 185.4 ± 3.5 cm, body mass: 84.1 ± 4.4 kg) were recruited and randomly assigned to four groups: SIT + 0.3 g·kg
resultsAll training groups showed significant improvements in physical performance variables over time (
conclusionFour weeks of SIT improved performance in trained basketball players, with Sb supplementation providing additional dose-dependent benefits (0.45 > 0.3 g⋅kg
