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

introductionHeart disease risk rises with age. However, women's symptoms become more pronounced following the onset of menopause. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of six weeks of combined resistance-endurance (RE) training on microRNA-29 expression in the heart of ovariectomised rats. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: 1) sham (SHAM); 2) ovariectomy (OVX); and 3) OVX with RE training (OVX + RE). The effects of these treatments on cardiac microRNA-29 expression were measured using real-time PCR. Data were analysed using a 2 × 3 ANOVA and Tukey

resultsOvariectomy resulted in a significant down-regulation in the heart microRNA-29 gene expression of OVX (0.265 ±0.031 fold changes), OVX + RE (0.699 ±0.038 fold changes) in animals vs. sham animals (1 ±0 fold changes; all,

conclusionsOur findings suggest that the six weeks of regular RE training attenuate the reduction in heart muscle microRNA-29 expression observed in ovariectomised rates. If our findings carry over to humans, such an exercise regimen could be beneficial to the cardiovascular disease risk in women during menopause.
