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

Skeletal muscle exhibits remarkable plasticity in response to diverse stimuli, with exercise serving as a potent trigger. Varied exercise modalities, including moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), induce distinct structural and functional adaptations on skeletal muscle. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing these adaptations remain poorly understood. In this study, we utilized RNA-seq to characterize the transcriptomic profile of murine gastrocnemius muscle following 8-week treadmill-based MICT (M group) and HIIT (H group). A total of 1052 DEGs were screened in H vs. M. Among the top 10 significant DEGs, Foxo1 and Myod1 are closely related to muscular physiology. Through KEGG pathway analysis, distinct adaptations were primarily identified in the FoxO, MAPK, and PI3K-AKT pathways. By analyzing the expression of myokines, a significantly higher Igf-1 expression level was observed in the M group compared to the H group. Therefore, IGF-1, a well-known upstream regulator of both the PI3K-AKT-FoxO and MAPK pathways, might drive distinct muscle adaptations through variations in Igf-1 expression induced by these two exercise modalities.
