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

backgroundHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proposed as a time-efficient strategy to enhance brain health, yet its longer-term neural signatures remain unclear.

methodsIn a randomized, assessor-blinded, parallel-group study, 32 healthy undergraduates (18-25 years) completed either 8 weeks of supervised HIIT (30 min/session, 3 sessions/week) or a usual-activity control. Body composition was measured before and after the intervention, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO

resultsHIIT increased VO

conclusions8 weeks of HIIT were associated with frequency-specific modulation of cortical oscillations and large-scale functional coupling at rest. These findings suggest that time-efficient exercise paradigms may promote neural network reorganization, with potential benefits for cognitive and motor function.
