Relationship between resistance training and lipoprotein profiles in sedentary male smokers.
Trial report in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Epidemiological studies have found plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels to be predictive of cardiovascular disease in adults. To date, regular aerobic modes of exercise have been associated with favourable alterations in lipid and lipoprotein levels. However, the effect of resistance training on lipid and lipoprotein levels is inconclusive and conflicting. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide some clarity on whether resistance training could be used to improve sedentary male smokers' lipoprotein profiles. The study made use of a pre-test, a treatment period and a post-test. Subjects were placed into one of two groups, namely, a resistance-training (RES) group (n = 13) or a control (CON) group (n = 12). Throughout the 16-week experimental period the CON group received no treatment whatsoever. After resistance training, serum triglyceride levels were significantly decreased by 18.42% from 1.162 mmol/l (+/- 0.476) to 0.831 mmol/l (+/- 0.058) (p = 0.038) in the RES group. However, resistance training was found to have no impact on any of the other measured lipid and lipoprotein measures. In conclusion, these findings indicate that resistance training appears to have no significant effect on lipid and lipoprotein profiles in sedentary male smokers and therefore cannot prevent the advance of CAD.
