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

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), remnants of ancient germline infections, constitute ~8% of the human genome. Although mostly silenced, these elements can be expressed and play physiological or pathological roles. We investigated HERV expression dynamics, proviral load, and systemic inflammatory status in young and older adults, as well as the impact of regular physical exercise. PBMC and serum samples were collected from 30 young controls (YC), 30 inactive older adults (INAC) and 30 regularly exercising older adults (REG). Expression of HERV-W, -K, -H, Syncytin-1 and -2 was assessed by qPCR using the -2ΔΔCt method, and proviral load (HERV-W, -K, -H) was estimated by relative copy number. Serum cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-10) were quantified by ELISA. Statistical significance was set at
