Dietary macronutrient distribution influences postexercise substrate utilization in women: a cross-sectional evaluation of metabolic flexibility.

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
backgroundMetabolic flexibility is the ability to alter substrate utilization in response to substrate availability, which may influence health and performance. The current study evaluated the effects of habitual macronutrient distribution on energy expenditure (EE) and metabolic flexibility in physically active women.
methodsParticipants (N.=20) completed a 3-day food log and a standardized bout of high-intensity interval training to determine EE and respiratory exchange ratio (RER). EE and RER were measured via indirect calorimetry at rest (PRE) and immediately (IP), 30 minutes (30 min), and 60 minutes postexercise (60 min). To evaluate metabolic flexibility, RER changes were calculated from PRE to IP, IP to 30 min, and IP to 60 min. For each macronutrient, participants were categorized into high- and low-intake groups using a median split.
resultsNo significant correlations were observed between macronutrient distribution and EE when covaried for lean mass (all P≥0.232), and ANCOVAs revealed no significant group × time interactions (all P≥0.241). Fat intake was not associated with ∆RER (all P≥0.477). Correlations between PRO intake and ∆RER approached significance (r=0.373-0.411; P=0.079-0.115), as did inverse associations between CHO and ∆RER (r=-0.404 - -0.409; P=0.084-0.087). Lower RER values were observed in the low-CHO group at 30 min and 60 min (P=0.030) compared to high-CHO. Higher RER values were observed in the high-PRO group at IP (P=0.042) compared to low-PRO. Estradiol was not correlated with RER at any time point, or different between diet groups (all P≥0.401).
conclusionsResults suggest that high PRO and low CHO intakes are associated with greater metabolic flexibility in women.
