Treadmill exercise alleviates stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors in rats.
Article in Journal of exercise rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stress is the physiological responses of organisms to harmful or threatening stimuli that allow appropriate behavioral responses to the stressor. In the present study, the effect of treadmill exercise on stress-induced anxiety was evaluated using rats. To induce stress, the rats were exposed to an inescapable electric foot shock. Exposure of rats to the electric foot shock was performed for 7 days. The rats in the exercise groups were made to run on a motorized treadmill for 30 min once a day for 4 weeks stating one day after last electric food shock. Anxiety-like behaviors were determined by open field test and elevated plus-maze test. The expressions of c-Fos and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the hypothalamus and locus coeruleus were detected by immunohistochemistry. In the present results, locomotor activity in the center of the open field test and the number of entries and time in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze test were reduced in the rats with stress-induced anxiety. Treadmill running enhanced these locomotor activities, the number of entries and time in the stress-induced anxiety rats. c-Fos and nNOS expressions in the hypothalamus and locus coeruleus were increased in the stress-induced rats. Treadmill exercise reduced c-Fos and nNOS overexpressions in the stress-induced rats. In the present study, treadmill exercise ameliorated anxiety-like behaviors in the stress-induced rats. The improving effect of treadmill exercise on anxiety-like behaviors might be ascribed to the suppressing effect of exercise on c-Fos and nNOS expressions.
