Acute resistance exercise does not change the hormonal response to sublingual androstenediol intake.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sublingual intake of 21.4 mg androstenediol increases serum testosterone concentrations whereas swallowing 200 mg androstenediol does not. The duration of increase in serum testosterone following sublingual androstenediol (SL-DIOL) is unknown. Resistance exercise (EX) following SL-DIOL may cause larger increases in serum estradiol concentrations than while at rest. This project evaluated the duration of change in, and the effects of acute EX on, the hormonal response to SL-DIOL. Six young resistance trained males consumed either placebo (PL) or SL-DIOL before a single session of EX or no exercise (Rest) in a random, double blind, crossover manner (for a total of four trials). Blood samples were collected before supplementation, and at 60, 120, 180, 240, 480, and 720 min post-supplementation, with the exercise occurring between 60 and 120 min. The serum [total testosterone] increased (P < 0.05) at 60 min similarly in SL-DIOL-EX and SL-DIOL-Rest by approximately 115%, and at 120 min by approximately 107% with no differences due to exercise. The serum [estradiol] increased (P < 0.05) similarly in SL-DIOL-EX and SL-DIOL-Rest by approximately 33% at 60 min and approximately 45% at 120 min, with no differences due to exercise. Serum [testosterone] returned to baseline by 240 min and serum [estradiol] returned to baseline by 720 min post-intake. These findings indicate that SL-DIOL acutely elevates serum testosterone and estradiol concentrations, that EX does not alter the endocrine response to SL-DIOL, and that the increases in serum estradiol last between 480 and 720 min while the increases in serum testosterone last <240 min following acute SL-DIOL intake.
