Is the Peri-Bariatric Surgery Exercise Program Effective in Adults with Obesity: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The number of people with obesity continues to increase. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity. However, this surgery also has disadvantages, such as an increased risk of excessive loss of fat-free mass, lean body mass, and muscle mass compared to other weight loss interventions. PubMed and Cochrane Library database including articles in English, Dutch, French, and German were used. From the 3609 retrieved references, 20 articles were selected. Compared with the control group, physical exercise improved body mass index (5 of 13 articles), weight loss (7 of 17 articles), functional capacity (2 of 5 articles), muscle strength (1 of 1 article), fat-free mass (3 of 5 articles), cardiorespiratory endurance (4 of 6 articles), and quality of life (2 of 4 articles) in obese patients undergoing BS. Current data is suggestive of positive effects of exercise on body mass index, weight loss, functional capacity, muscle strength, fat-free mass, cardiorespiratory endurance, and quality of life in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. However, our conclusions are limited because of the heterogeneity of programs and short studies. Further research is needed to determine the most effective physical exercise program in peri-bariatric surgery.
