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

Exercise-induced focal sarcolemmal disruption in susceptible myofibers results in bone marrow cell infiltration and reduced cellular senescence in skeletal muscle, followed by increases in muscle strength and mass. In contrast, removal of gravitational loading during spaceflight or prolonged bed rest leads to rapid losses of muscle mass and strength, recapitulating features of ageing. Accumulating evidence indicates that this exercise-induced muscle adaptation is driven by damage-evoked immune signaling that mobilizes bone marrow-derived progenitor cells to sites of tissue injury for regeneration. Cross-age transplantation studies further demonstrate that circulating bone marrow-derived cells (i.e., immune and progenitor cells) are key determinants of muscle regenerative capacity. Recent human muscle biopsy studies reveal that infiltrating immune and progenitor cells can fuse with damaged myofibers and contribute mitochondria during recovery. Within this damage-induced regeneration framework, ginsenosides, the bioactive steroidal constituents of
