Barriers to Physical Exercise and Associated Factors in the Pre- and Postoperative Periods of Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundTo compare the barriers to exercise and its associated factors among patients in the pre- and postoperative periods of bariatric surgery.
methodsCross-sectional study with patients who were split into preoperative (n = 81) and postoperative (n = 209) groups. It was collected sociodemographic characteristics, and the Exercise Benefits Barriers Scale was adopted in order to identify the barriers related to exercise practice. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Poisson regression were applied for comparisons and associations.
resultsThe postoperative group had a lower score on the barrier scale, except for the lack of time subdimension. In the preoperative, the subjects were considered physically active (p = 0.03), and those over 42 years old (p < 0.001) had the lowest score in lack of time subdimension. Those with a body mass index (BMI) higher than 36.89 kg/cm
conclusionsThe preoperative group had a higher score of barriers to practice exercises related to physical effort, environment, and family discouragement, when compared to the postoperative. The factors associated were physical inactivity, BMI over 36.89 kg/cm
