Influence of Sex on the Changes in Regional Fat and Skeletal Muscle Mass in Response to Exercise Training in Adolescents with Obesity.
Trial report in Childhood obesity (Print), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWe retrospectively examined the sex differences in the changes in (1) total fat, total and regional subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral fat, and intermuscular fat and (2) total and regional skeletal muscle distribution in response to aerobic exercise (AE) or resistance exercise (RE) in adolescents with obesity.
methodsTwenty-eight boys and 27 girls with obesity (BMI ≥95th percentile, 12-18 years) were randomly assigned to 3-month interventions (180 minutes per week) of AE or RE. Changes in total and regional fat and skeletal muscle distribution were assessed by a whole-body magnetic resonance imaging.
resultsAfter controlling for corresponding baseline values, age, and race, changes in body weight, BMI, BMI z-score, and waist circumference were similar between exercise groups (p > 0.05) and sexes (p > 0.05). There were no sex or exercise group differences in the reductions in total fat, total SAT, visceral fat, or intermuscular fat. With AE, boys had greater (p < 0.05) reductions in abdominal SAT as compared with girls. With RE, boys had greater (p < 0.05) increases in total, upper body, and abdominal skeletal muscle as compared with girls. Independent of exercise modality, the improvement in VO
conclusionWith the exception of abdominal SAT, there were no sex or exercise treatment differences in the reductions in total and regional fat. In response to RE, the increases in total and regional skeletal muscle were significantly greater in boys than in girls.
