Aerobic exercise and lipids and lipoproteins in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Atherosclerosis, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 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
objectiveUse the meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of aerobic exercise on total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) in children and adolescents. STUDY
designRandomized controlled trials which were limited to aerobic exercise >or=4 weeks in children and adolescents 5-19 years of age.
resultsTwelve outcomes representing 389 subjects were available for pooling. Using random-effects modeling, a trend for statistically significant decreases of 12% was found for TG (X +/-S.E.M., -11.0+/-6.1mg/dl; 95% CI, -22.8-0.8 mg/dl) with no statistically significant changes for TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C. Decreases in LDL-C were associated with increased training intensity (r=-0.89; 99% CI, -0.99 to -0.04) and older age (r=-0.90; 99% CI, -0.99 to -0.25) while increases in HDL-C were associated with lower initial HDL-C (r=-0.75; 99% CI, -0.94 to -0.80). Statistically significant decreases in TG were observed in overweight/obese subjects with a trend for increases in HDL-C (TG, X +/-S.E.M., -23.9+/-7.0mg/dl; 95% CI, -37.6 to -10.1mg/dl; HDL-C, X +/-S.E.M., 4.0+/-2.3mg/dl; 95% CI, -0.5-8.5mg/dl).
conclusionsAerobic exercise decreases TG in overweight/obese children and adolescents.
