Effects of different exercise levels on serum trace element concentrations.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
The present study aims to evaluate the effect of training levels on serum concentrations of trace elements including zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and selenium (Se). Three groups of male participants at different levels of physical exercise were involved in the survey, such as professional middle- and long-distance runners (n = 20), amateur (n = 22), and sedentary subjects (n = 25). The determination of trace elements was carried out by the kinetic energy discrimination (KED) collision mode of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with minimal sample consumption. It was found that there were significant differences in the concentration of Zn, Fe, Cu (all, P < 0.001) and Se (P < 0.05) between the professional group and the sedentary subjects. Mn concentration in the amateur and professional group was significantly higher than that in sedentary subjects (P < 0.001), and inversely, the concentrations of Zn (P < 0.01), Fe (P < 0.05) and Cu (P < 0.05) in the professional group were significantly lower than that in amateur. The correlations analysis demonstrated that changes in trace elements were significantly correlated with training levels: Zn (r = - 0.589, P < 0.001), Fe (- 0.469, P < 0.001), Cu (- 0.442, P < 0.001) and Se (- 0.313, 0.01) presented significant negative correlations with the degree of training, while Mn (0.674, P < 0.001) revealed a positive correlation with the degree of exercise. In addition, the professional group demonstrated that the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (P < 0.001) and Cu/Zn ratio (P < 0.05) increased significantly under high-intensity training.
