Effect of a single exercise bout on fasting cerebral blood flow and brain insulin sensitivity in middle-aged to older adults.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Reductions in brain insulin sensitivity and cerebral blood flow (CBF) have emerged as potential factors contributing to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. However, no work has tested whether a single bout of exercise can raise brain insulin sensitivity in at-risk adults. The aim of the study was to test whether a single bout of exercise raises brain insulin sensitivity in middle-aged to older adults with cardiometabolic risk. In a counterbalanced pilot study design, 15 cognitively unimpaired (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, 28.2 ± 1.3 a.u.) adults [56.7 ± 2.1 years old; maximal oxygen consumption (
