It would be the same for pole vaulting. You can enter the competition at a lower height and continue to clear as the height increases. Once you fail at a height you still have the highest height you did clear for the competition which you can still win with. That was probably a horrible explanation - my apologies if so.
If you don't have it installed it can easily be queried with curl from the command line like: `curl cheat.sh/sed`. The payload is colorized and gives a lot of examples of usage of the command. You can also query "cht.sh" to use fewer characters. There is actually a lot more advanced usage of the tool/service if you check out the README.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic. I can see how my comment could have come off that way though. I honestly didn't even read the linked study. I was just providing a possible reason for why a search for "NSAID" may not have yielded any results.
