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

Acute endurance exercise influences metabolic and immune functions, with myokines playing a key role in mediating communication between these two systems and in transforming transient inflammatory signals into long-term anti-inflammatory adaptations. However, the magnitude of these anti-inflammatory effects varies widely depending on exercise type, intensity, and duration. Accordingly, the objective of this meta-analysis is to assess changes in myokine concentrations following endurance exercise and establish a potential dose-response relationship between exercise-related parameters. A systematic literature search was conducted in June 2024 for endurance exercise studies measuring changes in interleukin (IL-) 6, IL-10, IL-1ra, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) α, IL-15, IL-7, IL-8, transforming growth factor β1, and fractalkines before and immediately after exercise in healthy individuals. Independent random-effect meta-analyses were performed for each myokine (PROSPERO: CRD42024535364). Significant small-moderate to very large positive effect sizes were observed for IL-6, IL-10, IL-1ra, IL-8, IL-15, and TNF-α. These effects were significantly moderated by risk of bias, sex, age, V̇O
