Effects of aerobic training on brain architecture, hippocampal volume, cardiorespiratory parameters, and health-related quality of life among patients with schizophrenia: A systematic review.
Review in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Schizophrenia is considered to be a condition that usually manifests at any age but commonly seen in young people and is associated with a genetic propensity in brain development. Aim: The study explores the impact of aerobic training on brain architecture, hippocampal volume, cardiorespiratory parameters, and quality of life in young individuals with schizophrenia. The investigation focuses on the correlation between genetic predisposition, hippocampal atrophy, and diminished cardiorespiratory fitness, aiming to discern potential benefits of aerobic exercise on both physical and mental health outcomes. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in major online databases, such as Cochrane, Embase, PEDro, Web of science and PubMed (Medline). Two authors independently evaluated possibilities of bias, retrieved data and decided which trials should be included in the analysis. Total of 13 published articles (randomized clinical and controlled trials) with 656 patients was included from January 2010 to December 2020. Results: Following aerobic exercise training, people with schizophrenia presented with an increased hippocampus volume and enhanced cardiorespiratory endurance ( Conclusion: Findings from the present review propose aerobic exercise program as a meaningful therapeutic intervention for schizophrenia patients in terms of maintaining appropriate brain architecture, increasing the hippocampal volume, improving cardiorespiratory parameters and health related quality of life.
