Leukocyte response to repeated sprint exercise: Differences between adolescent and adult athletes.

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: Repeated sprint exercise (RSE) can significantly affecting leukocytes dynamics, influenced by fitness, lifestyle, and biological maturation (BM), especially in adolescents. Methods: This experimental trial examined RSE effects on leukocyte responses in 34 male-athletes (18 adolescents, age = [12.9 ± 1.1] years; 16 adults, age = [22.5 ± 2.2] years). Participants performed 3 sets of 6 sprints (35 m with 10 s of passive rest and 5 min between sets), with blood samples collected before, immediately after, 2 h, and 24 h after-RSE. Leukocyte levels were analyzed microscopically and via leukogram, and adolescents' BM was assessed using peak-height-velocity (PHV). Statistical analyses included Friedman and Mann-Whitney Results: Total leukocyte counts increased immediately after and at 2 h after-RSE in both groups ( Conclusions: It is concluded that RSE promotes transient immune mobilization, more pronounced in adults, and modulated by the stage of biological maturation.
