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

Exercise is crucial for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) management, yet the comparative efficacy of different exercise modalities and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the differential effects of distance-matched high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis (OP) in mice. After 12 weeks of training, micro-CT analysis revealed that MICE, but not HIIT, significantly attenuated OVX-induced bone loss and microstructural deterioration. Crucially, only MICE suppressed osteoclastogenesis and reduced proinflammatory factors (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α]) expression in the femur, serum, and colon. Mechanistically, MICE uniquely restored gut microbiota (GM) diversity, mitigated dysbiosis, and enhanced intestinal barrier integrity by upregulating the expression of tight junction proteins (TJPs; ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1), thereby reducing systemic inflammation. In contrast, HIIT failed to ameliorate GM imbalance and intestinal permeability. Our findings demonstrate that the protective effect of MICE on OVX-induced OP is mediated through the gut-bone axis by modulating GM, repairing the intestinal barrier, and suppressing inflammatory osteoclast activation. This study provides novel evidence that the benefits of exercise on PMOP are modality-dependent, highlighting MICE as a superior strategy and offering mechanistic insights for optimizing exercise prescriptions.
