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

The purpose of this study was to determine for the first time by repeated non-invasive 13C-NMR spectrometry whether blood lactate concentration affects glycogen reduction in non-exercising muscle during prolonged (6 h) physical exercise in healthy adult males. Such an effect would indirectly show that glycogenolysis independent of nervous activation occurs in non-exercising muscle. After an overnight fast, 12 subjects performed alternating one-leg cycle exercise and arm cranking exercise at an average work load of 106 (SD 26) W [63 (9)% maximum oxygen consumption for one-leg exercise] and 69 (13) W [61 (10)% maximum oxygen consumption for arm cranking exercise], respectively. During the 6-h exercise test, glycogen concentration of the non-exercising calf muscle decreased by 17 (7)% while the glycogen concentration in the exercising calf muscle decreased by 45 (8)%. In a resting control group (n=6), the glycogen concentration did not decrease significantly. The higher the exercise intensity and therefore blood lactate concentration, the smaller was the glycogen reduction in the non-exercising calf muscles. We conclude that during prolonged physical exercise glycogenolysis in non-exercising human muscles decreases as exercise intensity increase contrary to exercising muscles. This observation might be an indirect evidence for a non-exercise induced glycogenolysis in inactive muscles.
