Comparison of basal whole-body protein kinetics and muscle protein synthesis between young and older adults.
Article in Physiological reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Significant research has been dedicated to counteracting age-related muscle loss, but underlying mechanisms have not been clearly established. Previous research examining differences in basal protein kinetics between young and older individuals has been limited by a lack of evaluation of protein breakdown and net balance. The aim of this study was to more comprehensively examine differences in basal protein kinetics between younger and older males and females. Basal whole-body protein kinetics and muscle fractional synthetic rate (FSR) from 91 younger (18-38 years; 52% female) and 66 older (51-81 years; 53% female) healthy adults were determined using stable isotope tracer techniques (L-[ring-
