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

backgroundBased on the inconsistency of some previous results related to moderate exercise effects on systemic inflammatory responses, this study was conducted to determine the effects of 45 minutes of moderate aerobic cycling on inflammatory markers, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), C-reactive protein (CRP), and leucocyte counts in young active men.

methodsTen healthy, active collegiate men (aged 21.03 ± 1.2 years, body fat 12.04 ± 2.72% and VO(2)max 59.6 ± 2.4 mL/kg/min) in a quasiexperimental pre/post design, participated in an acute, moderate cycling protocol at an intensity of 50% VO(2)max for 45 minutes. The inflammatory markers (serum IL-6, IL-10, CRP, and peripheral blood leucocyte counts), along with cortisol and epinephrine, were examined before and after the protocol. Data were expressed as mean (± SD) and analyzed by paired t-test using SPSS15 at α ≤ 0.05.

resultsThe results showed that serum IL-6, IL-10, CRP, total leukocyte counts, and stress hormones (epinephrine and cortisol) were significantly increased following 45 minutes of moderate cycling in active collegiate men (P < 0.001). However, all pre- and post-measurements were in the population range.

conclusionBased on the present results, it can be concluded that moderate cycling is not only sufficient to induce systemic inflammation in active collegiate men, but also appears to be safe from an immunological point of view.
