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

purpose of reviewThis review aimed to evaluate current evidence regarding genetic markers associated with athletic performance, recovery, injury susceptibility, nutrient metabolism, responsiveness to ergogenic aids, and dietary behaviour in athletes. RECENT

findingsClassical candidate-gene studies and contemporary genome-wide investigations have identified numerous genetic variants associated with power and endurance performance, skeletal muscle capillarization, cardiac adaptation, energy metabolism, and injury susceptibility. Variants related to carbohydrate, fat, and branched-chain amino acid metabolism may contribute to inter-individual differences in substrate utilization and exercise responses. Genetic markers associated with iron, folate, and vitamin D metabolism, as well as variants influencing caffeine metabolism and sensitivity, are also relevant to sports nutrigenetics. However, differences in sample characteristics, ancestry, sport discipline, and exercise protocols limit the consistency and generalizability of the available findings. Athletic performance and nutritional responses are polygenic and multifactorial traits. Therefore, no single genetic variant should be considered an independent determinant of performance capacity or nutritional requirements. Genetic information should be interpreted together with dietary intake, biochemical indicators, training characteristics, clinical status, and individual tolerance. Current evidence remains insufficient to support the routine use of nutritional or supplementation strategies based solely on genotype.
