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

Despite the known benefits of exercise, an in-depth comparison of the effects of regular versus irregular exercise on brain-body interactions and molecular mechanisms remains lacking. This study demonstrates that regular exercise robustly enhances fear memory extinction in mice, whereas irregular exercise has only mild effects. This divergence arises from regular rather than irregular exercise strongly inhibiting axonal mRNA transport and local translation of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in septal cholinergic neurons projecting to the hippocampus, thereby reducing hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) levels and inhibiting α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) activation on astrocytes. Critically, this hippocampal ACh-α7-nAChR signaling modulates hepatic ACh via the amygdala-dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV)-hepatic vagus circuit. Irregular exercise inhibits this pathway inadequately, so that increasing hepatic ACh flux and recruiting a novel neutrophil subset characterized by high expression of F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 6 (FBXL6
