The effect of elastic-band resistance training on fecal microbiota and derived metabolites of aged individuals with possible sarcopenia.
Trial report in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Individuals with possible sarcopenia exhibit altered microbiota profiles and poor intestinal metabolism. Exercise training is linked to changes in gut microbiota and has been proposed to enhance the quality of aging skeletal muscle. Aims: In older adults with possible sarcopenia, the study aimed to determine if elastic-band resistance training modulates gut microbiota and its generated metabolites and investigate the underlying relationships with physical function. Methods: Thirty-one volunteers with possible sarcopenia were randomly assigned to either the control group (CG, Results: The gait speed (GS), arm curl test (ACT), 2-min step test (2MST), and timed up-and-go test (TUGT) all showed notable improvements in the RG. The RG also showed lower serum levels of tumor necrosis factor- Conclusion: The elastic-band resistance training effectively improved physical function, modulates gut microbiota and SCFAs. The results revealed the physiological mechanisms by which gut microbiota and SCFAs regulate aging muscle health, providing scientific support for possible sarcopenia prevention and treatment via gut-muscle axis bidirectional crosstalk.
