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

backgroundRegular physical exercise shows significant health-related benefits, potentially through the modulation of lipid metabolism in an intensity-dependent manner.

methodsIn this study, we profiled 794 plasma lipid species across 18 subclasses following a 24-week supervised concurrent and randomised exercise intervention at moderate and vigorous intensities in 101 young, sedentary adults.

findingsHere, we demonstrate that moderate-intensity exercise, but not vigorous-intensity, significantly increased plasma levels of glycerophospholipids and triacylglycerol species. Interestingly, we also identified a sex-specific response to moderate-intensity exercise, with men exhibiting elevated glycerophospholipids and lysophospholipids species, and women showing significant increases in triacylglycerols species. Increments in glycerophospholipids species were associated with improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, i.e., VO

interpretationImportantly, while traditional lipid markers, including total cholesterol or triglycerides remained unchanged after the exercise intervention, our findings suggest that exercise partially exerts its health benefits by selectively targeting and modifying specific lipid subtypes in an intensity, sex-dependent manner.
