Whole-body net protein balance plateaus in response to increasing protein intakes during post-exercise recovery in adults and adolescents.
Article in Nutrition & metabolism, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06256744 (Resistance Exercise-induced Anabolism in Youths and Adults), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 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.

Abstract
backgroundMuscle protein synthesis and muscle net balance plateau after moderate protein ingestion in adults. However, it has been suggested that there is no practical limit to the anabolic response of whole-body net balance to dietary protein. Moreover, limited research has addressed the anabolic response to dietary protein in adolescents. The present study determined whether whole-body net balance plateaued in response to increasing protein intakes during post-exercise recovery and whether there were age- and/or sex-related dimorphisms in the anabolic response.
methodsThirteen adults [7 males (M), 6 females (F)] and 14 adolescents [7 males (AM), 7 females (AF) within ~ 0.4 y from peak height velocity] performed ~ 1 h variable intensity exercise (i.e., Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test) prior to ingesting hourly mixed meals that provided a variable amount of protein (0.02-0.25 g·kg
resultsMixed model biphasic linear regression explained a greater proportion of net balance variance than linear regression (all,
conclusionsOur data suggest there is a practical limit to the anabolic response to protein ingestion within a mixed meal and that higher intakes lead to deamination and oxidation of excess amino acids. Consistent with a need to support lean mass growth, adolescents appear to have greater anabolic sensitivity and a greater capacity to assimilate dietary amino acids than adults.
