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

purposeTo evaluate training induced metabolic changes noninvasively with (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P-MRS) for measuring muscle fibre type adaptation.

methodsEleven volunteers underwent a 24-week training, consisting of speed-strength, endurance, and detraining (each 8 weeks). Prior to and following each training period, needle biopsies and (31)P-MRS of the resting gastrocnemius muscle were performed. Fibre type distribution was analyzed histologically and tested for correlation with the ratios of high energy phosphates ([PCr]/[P(i)], [PCr]/[βATP] and [PCr + P(i)]/[βATP]). The correlation between the changes of the (31)P-MRS parameters during training and the resulting changes in fibre composition were also analysed.

resultsWe observed an increased type-II-fibre proportion after speed-strength and detraining. After endurance training the percentage of fast-twitch fibres was reduced. The progression of the [PCr]/[P(i)]-ratio was similar to that of the fast-twitch fibres during the training. We found a correlation between the type-II-fibre proportion and [PCr]/[P(i)] (r = 0.70, P < 0.01) or [PCr]/[βATP] (r = 0.69, P < 0.01); the correlations between its changes (delta) and the fibre-shift were significant as well (delta[PCr]/[P(i)] r = 0.66, delta[PCr]/[βATP] r = 0.55, P < 0.01).

conclusionShifts in fibre type composition and high energy phosphate metabolite content covary in human gastrocnemius muscle. Therefore (31)P-MRS might be a feasible method for noninvasive monitoring of exercise-induced fibre type transformation.
