Effects of electrical stimulation-induced resistance exercise training on white and brown adipose tissues and plasma meteorin-like concentration in rats.
Article in Physiological reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Chronic endurance exercise training induces morphological and metabolic alterations including mitochondrial biogenesis in white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) in rodents. A myokine called meteorin-like (Metrnl) is associated with morphological and metabolic adaptation and increased in blood after acute resistance exercise. However, the effects of chronic resistance exercise training (RT), which aims to increase muscle mass and strength, on WAT and BAT are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of RT on morphological and metabolic parameters in WAT and BAT and on plasma Metrnl concentrations. We applied electrical stimulation to both legs of rats as RT three times a week for 4 weeks. RT reduced adipocyte size in subcutaneous WAT but induced no changes in mitochondrial and thermogenesis proteins. In BAT, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) protein levels and mitochondrial content markers were significantly higher in the RT group compared with the control group. A significant positive correlation was found between the expression of PGC-1α in BAT and plasma Metrnl concentrations. These results suggest that plasma Metrnl is associated with PGC-1α and mitochondrial biogenesis in BAT. This study describes a potential role of RT in preventing metabolic diseases via altering WAT and BAT and increasing plasma Mertnl concentrations.
