Leg immobilization and subsequent recovery resistance training affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis related markers in young healthy adults regardless of prior resistance training experience.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We recently reported that resistance trained (T, n=10) and untrained (UT, n=11) young adults experience vastus lateralis (VL) muscle atrophy following two weeks of disuse, and 8 weeks of recovery resistance training (RT) promotes VL hypertrophy in both participant cohorts. However, angiogenesis targets and muscle capillary number were not examined and currently no human studies that have sought to determine if disuse followed by recovery RT affects these outcomes. Thus, we examined whether disuse and/or recovery RT affected these outcomes. All participants underwent two weeks of left leg immobilization using locking leg braces and crutches followed by eight weeks (3d/week) of knee extensor focused progressive RT. VL biopsies were obtained at baseline (PRE), immediately after disuse (MID), and after RT (POST). Western blotting was used to assay angiogenesis markers and immunohistochemistry was performed in 16/21 participants to determine type I and II muscle fiber capillary number. Significant main effects of time (p<0.05) were observed for protein levels of VEGF (MID<POST), VEGFR2 (PRE&MID<POST), TSP-1 (PRE<POST), TIMP1 (MID<POST), phosphorylated/pan eNOS (Ser1177) (POST<PRE), and pan eNOS (PRE<POST). VEGFR2 exhibited a training status*time (p=0.018), but no differences existed between T and UT at any time point. A significant main effect of time was observed for type II fiber capillary number (PRE<POST), and type II fiber cross-sectional area (fCSA) increased from MID to POST (+25%, p<0.001) and PRE to POST (+20%, p=0.019). No significant correlations exist for percentage changes in type II fiber capillary number and type II fCSA from PRE-to-MID (r= 0.020), MID-to-POST (r= 0.392), or PRE-to-POST (r= -0.120) across all participants (p>0.100). Although disuse and recovery RT affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis-related protein targets, prior training history does not differentially affect these outcomes.
