Physical training following gastric bypass: effects on physical activity and quality of life-a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01690728 (Effect of Physical Activity on Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Risk Factors After Gastric Bypass), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundObesity is associated with physical inactivity and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aim to test the hypothesis that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) followed by supervised physical training improves physical activity (PA) levels and HRQoL.
methodsSixty patients, qualified for RYGB, were at 6 months post-surgery randomized to 26 weeks of a supervised physical training intervention (INT) or to a control (CON) group. PA was assessed by accelerometry and using the questionnaire RPAQ. HRQoL was measured by the SF-36 questionnaire. All assessments were performed pre-surgery and 6, 12, and 24 months post-surgery.
resultsRYGB did not improve objectively or self-reported PA, but improved all domains of SF-36 (all p < 0.01). Objectively measured light PA, moderate to vigorous PA, and step counts tended to increase in INT compared to CON 12 months after RYGB (0.05 < p < 0.09), but the effects failed to persist. The SF-36 domain "general health" increased in INT compared to CON 24 months after RYGB (p = 0.041).
conclusionRYGB improves HRQoL, but does not increase PA. Supervised physical training intervention improves general health 24 months after RYGB and tends to improve certain domains of PA right after the intervention period, but fails to increase the patients' overall PA level over time.
