Effect of Timing of Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplementation on Muscle Recovery after Resistance Training in Healthy Males.
Trial report in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different timing of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation (pre-/post-exercise) on the recovery of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and associated inflammatory factors after resistance training. A double-blind randomized controlled experimental design was used in this study. Twenty-four untrained male college students volunteered to receive BCAA supplementation and completed resistance training. Participants were randomly assigned to the BCAA and placebo groups and sequentially performed two experiments of pre-exercise supplementation and post-exercise supplementation. Thus, four groups were formed: the BCAA-PRE group, the BCAA-POST group, the PLCB-PRE group, and the PLCB-POST group. Muscle soreness, countermovement jump (CMJ), and related blood parameters [interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase (CK), blood lactate (B[La])] were measured 30 min, 24 and 48 hr after resistance training. BCAA post-exercise supplementation significantly reduced muscle soreness scores compared to the placebo group at 48 hr after resistance training (
