Genomics and athletic performance: an emerging discipline that is not yet ready for society.
Article in Human genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Genomics of athletic performance is an emerging discipline with a high degree of controversy. With the existing level of evidence, it is both premature and highly risky to exploit current human genomics knowledge to predict exercise and sports performance or enhance existing training methodologies. Until more solid evidence on the influence of genomic variants in athletic performance becomes available, accompanied by regulatory approved genome-guided recommendations, all genetic associations should be restricted from general public access as commercial services, since genomic markers cannot per se predict athletic performance for talent identification, resistance to injuries or the ability to recover from them. Evidently, the complex interplay of genetics with other physical, physiological and even psychological and mental characteristics to produce a world-class athlete is still not understood.
