Effects of exercise training with weight loss on skeletal muscle expression of angiogenic factors in overweight and obese older men.

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
Low skeletal muscle capillarization is associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); however, aerobic exercise training with weight loss (AEX + WL) increases skeletal muscle capillarization and improves glucose tolerance in adults with IGT. Given that the expression of angiogenic growth factors mediates skeletal muscle capillarization, we sought to determine whether angiogenic growth factor levels are associated with low capillarization in those with IGT versus normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or to the benefits of AEX + WL in both groups. Sixteen overweight or obese men 50-75 yr of age completed 6 mo of AEX + WL with oral glucose tolerance tests and vastus lateralis muscle biopsies for measurement of muscle vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor-1 (sFlt-1), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). At baseline, all growth factor levels were numerically lower in IGT than NGT, but these did not reach statistical significance (
