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 is fundamental to healthy aging, yet how it mitigates age-related molecular changes and how fitness level shapes exercise responses remain unclear. To address these questions, we performed transcriptomics, lipidomics and metabolomics on skeletal muscle of young and older adults with differing physical function, both before and after an acute bout of submaximal exercise. At baseline, older adults exhibited reduced expression of genes associated with cellular respiration and energy metabolism compared to young adults with comparable activity levels. Here we found that 50% of these age-related differences were absent in trained older adults, resulting in profiles resembling those of young adults. Although all participants displayed transcriptional immune and stress responses upon acute exercise, the magnitude of these responses in older adults was positively correlated with their physical fitness. Integrated multiomic analyses further revealed links among mitochondrial respiration, lipid metabolism, stress responses and NAD
