Effect of prolonged, submaximal exercise and carbohydrate ingestion on monocyte intracellular cytokine production in humans.
Trial report in The Journal of physiology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of exercise and carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion on intracellular monocyte cytokine production. Subjects performed 2 h of cycling at 70 % peak pulmonary O2 uptake (VO2,peak) while ingesting either an 8 % CHO beverage or a sweet placebo. Whole blood was incubated with (stimulated) or without (spontaneous) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and surface stained for monocyte surface antigens. The cells were permeabilised, stained for intracellular cytokines and analysed using flow cytometry. Exercise had no effect on the number of monocytes spontaneously producing cytokines, but the number of stimulated IL-1alpha-, TNF-alpha- and IL-6-positive monocytes were elevated (P < 0.01) immediately post-exercise and 2 h post-exercise. These stimulated cells produced less (P < 0.05) TNF-alpha immediately post-exercise, and less (P < 0.05) TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha 2 h post-exercise. There was a small, but significant increase (P < 0.05) in the plasma IL-6 concentration immediately post-exercise. Exercise resulted in an elevation (P < 0.01) in the plasma adrenaline concentration in the placebo trial, and ingestion of CHO attenuated this increase. CHO ingestion had no effect on monocyte cytokine production, plasma IL-6 or circulating leukocyte numbers. These data suggest that circulating monocytes are not the origin of increased levels of plasma IL-6 during exercise: prolonged cycling exercise increased the number of monocytes producing cytokines upon stimulation, but these cells produced less cytokines post-exercise. In addition, attenuation of plasma adrenaline levels had no effect on plasma IL-6 or monocyte cytokine production.
