Cerebral blood flow is not modulated following acute aerobic exercise in preadolescent children.
Trial report in International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Cognitive enhancements following a single bout of exercise are frequently attributed to increases in cerebral blood flow, however to date we have little understanding of the extent to which such bouts of exercise actually even influence cerebral blood flow following the cessation of exercise. To gain such insight, both regional and global changes in cerebral blood flow were assessed using 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin-labeled magnetic resonance imaging in a sample of 41 preadolescent children. Using a within-participants randomized crossover design, cerebral blood flow as assessed prior to and following 20-min of either aerobic exercise or an active-control condition during two separate, counterbalanced sessions. The aerobic exercise condition consisted of walking/jogging on a motor driven treadmill at an intensity of approximately 70% of age-predicted maximum heart rate (HR = 136.1 ± 11.1 bpm). The active control condition consisted of walking on the treadmill at the lowest possible intensity (0.5 mph and 0% grade; HR = 92.0 ± 12.2 bpm). Findings revealed no differences in cerebral blood flow following the cessation of exercise relative to the active control condition. These findings demonstrate that cerebral blood flow may not be altered in preadolescent children following the termination of the exercise stimulus during the period when cognitive enhancements have previously been observed.
