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

backgroundExercise is an affordable and practical strategy to alleviate several detrimental outcomes from the aging process, including sarcopenia. The elucidation of molecular mechanisms to alleviate sarcopenia is one of the most important steps towards understanding human aging. Although microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate muscle growth, regeneration and aging, the potential role of exercise-mediated miRNAs during the prevention and rehabilitation of skeletal muscle atrophy upon exercise interventions remains unclear.

methodsA miRNA profile by miRNA sequencing for gastrocnemius muscle of a 24-month-old aged male rat model mimicking the naturally aging process was established through screening the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) for alleviating aging-induced skeletal muscle atrophy upon optimal exercise intervention. The screened miRNAs and hub genes, as well as biomarkers with the most significantly enriched pathways, were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting.

resultsThe sarcopenia index (SI) value and cross-sectional area (CSA) of rats from the old control (OC) group significantly decreased when compared with the youth control (YC) group (P < 0.001, P < 0.01), whereas an increased SI value and an enlarged CSA of rats from the old-aerobic exercise (OE), old-resistance exercise (OR) and old-mixed exercise (OM) groups were determined (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.05; P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Our results demonstrate that 764 known miRNAs, 201 novel miRNAs and 505 miRNA-mRNA interaction networks were identified to be related to aging-induced muscular atrophy. Among them, 13 miRNAs were differentially expressed (P < 0.05 and log

conclusionsThese findings are closely correlated with the progression of sarcopenia and could act as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and interventional monitoring of aging-induced skeletal muscle atrophy.
