Racial differences in the response of cardiorespiratory fitness to aerobic exercise training in Caucasian and African American postmenopausal women.
Trial report in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 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
African American (AA) women have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and have been reported to have lower cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) compared with Caucasian American (CA) women. However, little data exist that evaluate racial differences in the change in CRF following aerobic exercise training. CA (n = 264) and AA (n = 122) postmenopausal women from the Dose-Response to Exercise in Women study were randomized to 4, 8, and 12 kcal·kg body wt(-1)·wk(-13) (KKW) of aerobic training or the control group for 6 mo. CRF was evaluated using a cycle ergometer. A greater increase in relative CRF was observed in CA compared with AA women in the 4 (CA: 1.00 vs. AA: 0.35 ml O2·kg(-1)·min (-1), P = 0.034), 8 (CA: 1.59 vs. AA: 0.82 ml O2·kg(-1)·min (-1), P = 0.041), and 12 (CA: 1.98 vs. AA: 0.50 ml O2·kg(-1)·min (-1), P = 0.001) KKW groups. Similar effects were found in absolute CRF, with the exception of the 4-KKW (CA: 0.04 vs. AA: 0.02 l O2/min, P = 0.147) group. However, in categorical analyses, the percentages of women who improved in both relative (>0 ml O2·kg(-1)·min (-1)) and absolute (>0 l O2/min) CRF were not significantly different for CA and AA women in all exercise groups (all P > 0.05). AA postmenopausal women, in general, had an attenuated increase in CRF (both relative and absolute) following exercise training, but had similar response rates compared with CA women. Future studies should investigate the physiologic mechanisms responsible for this attenuated response.
