Influence of intense exercise on saliva glutathione in prepubescent and pubescent boys.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Intense aerobic exercise has been found to prompt changes in oxidative stress, but in children remains almost unexplored. The aim was to investigate the effect of intense physical exercise on reduced glutathione (GSH as a biomarker of oxidative stress) and adrenocortical response (to verify a certain level of stress after exercise) in 38 prepubescent and 32 pubescent non-athlete boys. Four subgroups were established as puberty stage and physical fitness. Saliva samples were taken before and after incremental exercise testing to measure GSH, and cortisol levels. Saliva reduced glutathione levels were lower in all subgroups after exercise except in the prepubescent average fit group, significance being greater in the pubescent (P < 0.001) than in the prepubescent group (P < 0.01). Saliva cortisol increased after exercise in all except in the prepubescent "average fit" group. Physical exercise may give rise to oxidative stress and adrenocortical response in pubescent and prepubescent boys, depending on the duration and intensity of the test.
