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

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication is thought to be an integral part of exercise-training-induced mitochondrial adaptations. Thus, mtDNA level is often used as an index of mitochondrial adaptations in training studies. We investigated the hypothesis that endurance exercise training-induced mitochondrial enzymatic changes are independent of genomic dosage by studying mtDNA content in skeletal muscle in response to six weeks of knee-extensor exercise training followed by four weeks of deconditioning in one leg, comparing results to the contralateral untrained leg, in 10 healthy, untrained male volunteers. Findings were compared to citrate synthase activity, mitochondrial complex activities, and content of mitochondrial membrane markers (porin and cardiolipin). One-legged knee-extensor exercise increased endurance performance by 120%, which was accompanied by increases in power output and peak oxygen uptake of 49% and 33%, respectively (
