Exercise Delays Brain Ageing Through Muscle-Brain Crosstalk.
Review in Cell proliferation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Ageing is often accompanied by cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia. Exercise is a powerful tool for slowing brain ageing and enhancing cognitive function, as well as alleviating depression, improving sleep, and promoting overall well-being. The connection between exercise and healthy brain ageing is particularly intriguing, with exercise-induced pathways playing key roles. This review explores the link between exercise and brain health, focusing on how skeletal muscle influences the brain through muscle-brain crosstalk. We examine the interaction between the brain with well-known myokines, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and cathepsin B. Neuroinflammation accumulates in the ageing brain and leads to cognitive decline, impaired motor skills and increased susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we examine the evidence on the effects of exercise on neuronal myelination in the central nervous system, a crucial factor in maintaining brain health throughout the lifespan.
