Can exercise promote additional benefits on body composition in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Review in Obesity science & practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for patients with severe obesity, but success rates vary substantially. Exercise is recommended after bariatric surgery to reduce weight regain but the effectiveness remains undetermined on weight loss due to conflicting results. It is also unclear what should be the optimal exercise prescription for these patients. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the effects of exercise on body weight (BW), anthropometric measures, and body composition after bariatric surgery was performed.
methodsPubMed/MEDLINE
resultsThe analysis comprised 10 studies (
conclusionExercise, combined exercise regimens and interventions starting >6-months after bariatric surgery were effective in promoting BW, waist circumference and body mass index reduction. Exercise following bariatric surgery does not seem to favor body composition improvements.
