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

STUDY

designA cross-sectional study with comparison group.

objectivesTo evaluate the effects of long-term wheelchair rugby (WR) training on lipid profile, blood antioxidant status and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level.

settingAcademy of Physical Education, Katowice, Poland.

methodsThirty-two males with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) assigned into the physically active 'low-point' (LP, n=15) or 'high-point' (HP, n=8) WR players groups and the sedentary manual wheelchair users (SED, n=9) participated in this study. Fasting blood samples were collected at rest for assessment of activities of antioxidant enzymes, concentrations of reduced glutathione, uric acid, malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid profile measures and BDNF.

resultsNo significant differences were found in anthropometric measures and serum lipid profile indices, although a slight tendency toward higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was evidenced in WR players. Significantly lower serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and significantly higher levels of the overall enzymatic antioxidant potential index (EAP) in WR players, compared with SED, may reflect some WR training-induced increase in the blood's antioxidant capacity. There was also a slight tendency toward higher serum BDNF level in WR players compared with the SED group and a significant positive association between years of WR training and the BDNF level.

conclusionA voluntary participation in a long-term WR training program has several health promoting outcomes for individuals with chronic SCI. Among the most important are enhancement of the blood antioxidant defense capacity evidenced by lower MDA and higher EAP levels, as well as WR training-induced activation of BDNF signaling.
