Genomic and transcriptomic predictors of response levels to endurance exercise training.
Review in The Journal of physiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05772910 (Viability of an Educational Program for Lifestyle Changes and an Algorithm for the Derivation of Exercise Programs in Older People at Risk of Dependency at Primary Care.), which is not on this map. Cited by 64 papers, 7 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Predicting the responsiveness to regular exercise is a topic of great relevance due to its potential role in personalized exercise medicine applications. The present review focuses on cardiorespiratory fitness (commonly measured by maximal oxygen uptake, V̇O2 max ), a trait with wide-ranging impact on health and performance indicators. Gains in V̇O2 max demonstrate large inter-individual variation even in response to standardized exercise training programmes. The estimated ΔVO2 max heritability of 47% suggests that genomic-based predictors alone are insufficient to account for the total trainability variance. Candidate gene and genome-wide linkage studies have not significantly contributed to our understanding of the molecular basis of trainability. A genome-wide association study suggested that V̇O2 max trainability is influenced by multiple genes of small effects, but these findings still await rigorous replication. Valuable evidence, however, has been obtained by combining skeletal muscle transcript abundance profiles with common DNA variants for the prediction of the V̇O2 max response to exercise training. Although the physiological determinants of V̇O2 max measured at a given time are largely enunciated, what is poorly understood are the details of tissue-specific molecular mechanisms that limit V̇O2 max and related signalling pathways in response to exercise training. Bioinformatics explorations based on thousands of variants have been used to interrogate pathways and systems instead of single variants and genes, and the main findings, along with those from exercise experimental studies, have been summarized here in a working model of V̇O2 max trainability.
