Acute high-intensity interval exercise attenuates incubation of craving for foods high in fat.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveFood-seeking behaviors can be driven by food-associated cues, and palatable food seeking in response to food cues is a risk factor for obesity development. Cue-induced food seeking increases following a period of abstinence, a behavioral phenomenon known as "incubation of craving," which may contribute to an individual's difficulty abstaining from palatable foods. Pharmacological and environmental manipulations have been employed to try and reduce incubation of craving, albeit primarily in drug abuse paradigms. The goal of this study was to determine whether forced exercise can attenuate incubation of high-fat food craving.
methodsMale Sprague Dawley rats learned to self-administer high-fat pellets (60%) in combination with a compound cue (light + tone). The influence of high-intensity interval exercise on the time-dependent increase in cue-induced lever responding was investigated 30 days after the first cue test.
resultsRats exposed to exercise during abstinence did not express incubation of craving.
conclusionsThe results suggest that high-intensity exercise can prevent the establishment of incubation of craving for foods high in fat and may reduce cue-induced maladaptive food-seeking behaviors that contribute to overeating and obesity.
