Alterations of plasma nitric oxide, vascular endothelial growth factor, and soluble form of its receptor (sFlt-1) after resistance exercise: An experimental study.

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
backgroundThis study was aimed to investigate the alterations of some plasma angiogenic factors after resistance exercise in male rats. MATERIALS AND
methodsTWENTY MALE RATS WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: Sedentary and trained (n = 10 each). The animals in the trained group undertook one training session per day, 3 days/week. After 4 weeks; plasma nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and soluble form of VEGF receptor-1 (sFlt-1) concentrations were measured.
resultsPlasma NO concentration was not different between groups (P > 0.05). Plasma VEGF concentration was also not different between sedentary and trained groups (142.73 ± 3.74 and 144.5 ± 5.1 pg/mL, respectively; P > 0.05). Resistance training did not significantly change plasma sFlt-1 concentration (P > 0.05). VEGF/sFlt-1 ratio did not alter after exercise.
conclusionResistance training does not alter plasma angiogenic factors (NO, VEGF, and sFlt-1), at least in normal rats. More studies are needed to show the effect of resistance training on angiogenesis process.
