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

Resistance exercise guidelines exist for obesity but not for post-metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients. Therefore, the main goal of the present study is to provide evidence to support resistance exercise guidelines for this population. A secondary goal is to evaluate the available evidence to identify gaps for future research. Nine studies evaluating the effect of resistance exercise post-MBS on strength and body composition were included. Resistance training consistently prevented strength loss and when performed by younger population (~ 35 years) also prevented lean mass loss. Combined exercise, but not strength training independently, was found to promote body fat mass loss. Resistance training should be added to post-MBS exercise programs. Sufficiently powered studies using higher volume resistance training with supportive protein consumption and diverse populations are needed.
