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

The common ACTN3 R577X polymorphism leads to α-actinin-3 deficiency in ~20% of the human population and may be detrimental to their muscle power. However, the impact of ACTN3R577X on metabolic health and exercise capacity in the general population remains unclear. The objective of the current study was to compare metabolic health markers, musculoskeletal traits, and cardiorespiratory capacity between untrained overweight α-actinin-3-deficient (XX; 20 men and 19 women) and α-actinin-3 expressing (RR; 20 men and 21 women) individuals. The participants were aged 43 ± 7 years and had a BMI of 28.6 ± 3.2 kg·m
