The impact of the time of day on muscle and metabolic responses to resistance exercise in healthy adults: A randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Experimental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Resistance exercise provides numerous health benefits, including improved glucose control and enhanced muscular strength. However, it remains unclear whether the time of day resistance exercise is performed affects these benefits. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of time of day on muscle and metabolic responses to resistance exercise training in young healthy adults. The study included 36 participants (30 ± 7 years old; and 28 ± 4 kg/m
