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

Dipeptide carnosine has gained attention for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects demonstrated in preclinical studies, but evidence from human trials remains limited. This study investigated whether dietary carnosine delivered through enriched chicken meat can modulate redox status in competitive athletes. This randomized controlled trial involved 35 male competitive athletes who were assigned to either a control group (N = 16; CTRL) consuming regular chicken meat (410 mg/day) or a carnosine group (N = 19; CAR) receiving carnosine-enriched chicken meat (590 mg/day) for 21 days. Blood sample collection, cells isolation and anthropometric measurements were performed before and after the intervention to assess antioxidant enzyme activity, intracellular reactive oxygen species production, 8-iso Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso PGF 2α) concentration, and cell adhesion molecules serum concentrations. Results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Group comparisons were conducted using parametric and non-parametric tests, ANCOVA was applied to assess post-intervention differences adjusted for baseline values, while a two-way ANOVA was performed to determine the significance of interactions between time and treatment for each parameter, significance set at
