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

Combining fasting with exercise may influence gastric emptying rate (GER) and provide benefits to weight management and metabolic health. Furthermore, the time of day in which exercise is performed may also influence these variables. The aim was to investigate if fasting or fed exercise at different times of the day would alter GER, appetite and metabolic responses. Twelve males with overweight completed four experimental trials in a randomised crossover fashion involving cycling exercise in the morning fasted (FASTED-AM), evening fasted (FASTED-PM) and after a standardised meal in the morning (FED-AM) and evening (FED-PM). GER of a semi-solid meal was measured using the
