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

Contracting skeletal muscles secrete the metabolite L-β-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA), which when supplemented in the diet can mitigate disuse-induced musculoskeletal dysfunction. However, the effects of L-BAIBA supplementation alone and combined with exercise on cardiac and musculoskeletal properties are currently unknown. We hypothesized that exercise with L-BAIBA supplementation would promote greater cardiac and musculoskeletal benefits than exercise alone. To investigate this hypothesis, we subjected 12-month-old (as a model of middle-age) male C57BL6 mice to voluntary wheel running (VWR) with L-BAIBA (100mg/kg/day) (VWR+L-BAIBA), VWR alone, L-BAIBA alone, or none (CTRL) for three months. After the intervention, conscious electrocardiogram showed slightly prolonged QTc in VWR+L-BAIBA mice compared to CTRL (
