An Exercise Intervention May Counteract the Degradation of Nerve Conduction from Age-Related Disuse.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 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
purposeThe purpose was twofold: first, to determine the effects of resistance training on nerve conduction velocity (NCV), and second, to determine if changes in NCV are dependent on age. We hypothesized that training would result in faster nerve conduction in both young and older adults, albeit to a lesser extent in older adults.
methodsForty-eight subjects (18-84 yr) completed this study (training: n = 14 younger, 14 older; control: n = 12 younger, 8 older). Median motor NCV and maximal strength were recorded before and after 4 wk of handgrip training in both limbs. Training was conducted 3×/wk with the use of a grip training kit.
resultsMixed-factorial ANOVA revealed significant increases in NCV for both the young ( P < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.749) and older training groups ( P < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.679), but neither in control groups (young: P = 0.353, Cohen's d = 0.326; older: P = 0.108, Cohen's d = -0.184).
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that resistance training may be a viable method to counteract age-related nerve deterioration. These outcomes have the potential to improve quality of life and generate greater independence for our older populations.
