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
Sleep deprivation induces profound metabolic disturbances in the brain, while regular physical exercise is recognized for promoting neuroprotection and energy balance. This study investigated the effects of chronic treadmill exercise on the cortical and hippocampal metabolic profiles of sleep-deprived Swiss mice using the entire 1H-NMR spectrum. Male mice (n=48) were assigned to four groups: Control, Exercise (EX), Sleep Deprivation (SD), and Exercise before Sleep Deprivation (EX+SD). The EX group underwent 8 weeks of aerobic training, and SD was induced by 72-h total sleep deprivation. Brain metabolomic analysis revealed that the cortex and hippocampus shared a qualitatively similar metabolic composition, with taurine, creatine, and lactic acid as the most abundant metabolites. Exercise increased cortical levels of lactic acid, creatine, taurine, and other metabolites involved in glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and osmoregulation, while SD disrupted energy-related metabolites and increased glial markers such as myo-inositol. The EX+SD group exhibited a cortical metabolic profile similar to controls, indicating that prior exercise preserved neuroenergetic balance in this region. In contrast, hippocampal metabolism remained partially affected by SD, despite exercise preconditioning. These findings suggest that exercise confers region-specific metabolic resilience, especially in the cortex, by modulating pathways related to pyruvate metabolism, glutamate turnover, and astrocytic-neuronal coupling. Regular physical activity may thus act as a non-pharmacological strategy to mitigate SD-induced neurochemical imbalances.
