Comparison of 12-Week Fitness Protocols Following Bariatric Surgery: Aerobic Exercise Versus Aerobic Exercise and Progressive Resistance.
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 16 papers, 4 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
backgroundSuccessful bariatric surgery outcomes are better maintained with an exercise program. This pilot study compared the effects on short-term functional capacity and body composition of 2 post-bariatric surgery home-based programs: aerobic exercise alone versus aerobic exercise combined with progressive resistance conditioning.
methodsLaboratory measures and self-assessments of post-bariatric surgery patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsBetween July 2018 and March 2019, 35 patients completed the AE (n = 17) or AEPR (n = 18) program. The AEPR group lost statistically significantly more weight (mean 2.2 kg) relative to baseline than the AE group (p < 0.05). The AEPR group achieved significantly greater mean total muscle, liquid, and bone mass; upper-extremity muscle strength; uric acid levels; body fat loss; and performed better on the 6-min walking test (all p < 0.05). In month 3, the AEPR group achieved a greater mean walking distance (p = 0.029) and O
conclusionsIn a comparative 12-week post-bariatric surgery study, both aerobic exercise alone and aerobic exercise plus progressive-resistance training were positively correlated with general health improvement. However, the progressive-resistance regimen resulted in significantly greater weight loss, functional capacity, muscle mass, and upper-body strength.
