CHANGES OF TSH, IMMUNE, INFLAMMATORY AND TUMOR MARKERS AFTER ANAEROBIC EXERCISE IN ELITE KARATE ATHLETES.

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
Exercise causes considerable changes in the number and function of immune cells and hormones in circulation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of training regime on immune and inflammatory markers and parameters of complete blood count, thyroid function and tumor markers, immediately after intense, mostly anaerobic training in elite karate athletes. There are no similar studies that would determine changes in the concentration of tumor markers immediately after intense exercise. Study population included seven elite trained athletes, members of the Croatian National Karate Kata female team and Kata male team. Our data provided evidence that the white blood cell and segmented neutrophil granulocyte counts were significantly decreased and lymphocytes significantly increased with no major changes in interleukin-6 immediately after anaerobic exercise. We also noticed a strong increase of thyrotropin and no significant change in the levels of tumor markers. It was concluded that immune response and thyroid hormone status were in correlation with exercise duration and intensity. According to our results, a larger study is needed to define the impact of training and interrelation between sports and laboratory medicine as a perfect combination in terms of discovering new mechanisms and biochemical strategies in training of elite athletes.
