Muscle movement and metabolism: exercise and skeletal muscle as mediators of health-a report from the 26th Annual Harvard Nutrition Obesity Symposium, 2025.
Article in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Skeletal muscle is a crucial facilitator of many of the effects of exercise on metabolic health. Intrinsic myocellular mechanisms, exercise-induced myokine secretion, and crosstalk between multiple organ systems contribute to the maintenance of energy homeostasis, cardiovascular health, strength, cognition, and quality of life. Investigating the molecular underpinnings of the skeletal muscle response to exercise from multiple perspectives, including the genetic, physiological, and environmental factors leading to metabolic dysfunction, has advanced our understanding of disease risk and helped identify avenues for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders and chronic diseases. The National Institutes of Health-funded Boston Area Nutrition Obesity Research Center, in partnership with the Harvard Medical School Division of Nutrition, hosted its 26th Annual Symposium, "Muscle Movement and Metabolism: Exercise and Skeletal Muscle as Mediators of Health," in June of 2025. Speakers presented novel research and unique perspectives on exercise and skeletal muscle as key determinants of health. This manuscript synthesizes the symposium's major themes: 1) physiological and molecular mechanisms of exercise, 2) clinical implications of physical inactivity and reduced muscle function, and 3) individual variability and personalized medicine. By bridging mechanistic and clinical insights with principles of personalized medicine, the symposium provided key insights into the current landscape of treatments for metabolic diseases and evidence-based strategies for disease prevention.
