The effects of treadmill running on aging laryngeal muscle structure.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04362228 (The Effects of Whole-body Exercise to Improve Swallowing Function in Older Adults With Dementia), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectives/hypothesisAge-related changes in laryngeal muscle structure and function may contribute to deficits in voice and swallowing observed in elderly people. We hypothesized that treadmill running, an exercise that increases respiratory drive to upper airway muscles, would induce changes in thyroarytenoid muscle myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms that are consistent with a fast-to-slow transformation in muscle fiber type. STUDY
designRandomized parallel group controlled trial.
methodsFifteen young adult and 14 old Fischer 344/Brown Norway rats received either treadmill running or no exercise (5 days/week/8 weeks). Myosin heavy chain isoform composition in the thyroarytenoid muscle was examined at the end of 8 weeks.
resultsSignificant age and treatment effects were found. The young adult group had the greatest proportion of superfast-contracting MHCIIL isoform. The treadmill running group had the lowest proportion of MHCIIL and the greatest proportion of MHCIIx isoforms.
conclusionThyroarytenoid muscle structure was affected both by age and treadmill running in a fast-to-slow transition that is characteristic of exercise manipulations in other skeletal muscles. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA. Laryngoscope, 126:672-677, 2016.
