Integrating remote high-intensity interval training into multi-component obesity treatment for adolescents: Impacts on body composition, fitness, and lifestyle.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Background: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a three-month remote High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program as an adjunct to a multi-component clinical obesity treatment on body composition, physical fitness, movement behaviors, and nutritional habits in adolescents with obesity. Methods: This study was designed as a non-randomized controlled trial involving a total of 100 adolescents with obesity (BMI z-score ≥2), aged 12-17, divided into a control group (CG, receiving only standard care, i.e., medical and nutritional guidance, n = 50), and an experimental group (EG, exposed to a remote HIIT program four times/week (∼20 min/session) for 3 months, additionally to standard care, n = 50). Intervention effect was analyzed based on adherence (presence in ≥80 % of sessions). Anthropometrics, body composition, and physical fitness data were assessed at baseline and at the end of the intervention. Changes in body composition and physical fitness were the primary outcomes, while movement behaviors and nutritional habits were considered secondary outcomes. Results: Six participants were excluded from the analysis due to missing post-intervention assessments. Among the 44 (88 %) adolescents who completed the 3-month assessments, 28 were included in the adherents' group (AG) and 16 in non-adherents (non-AG). BMI z-score significantly decreased over time (β = -0.08, p = 0.001), with the AG showing a more significant reduction than non-AG (β = -0.3, p < 0.001) and CG (β = -0.29, p < 0.001). Flexibility (β = 3.5, p < 0.001) and Core strength improved (β = 2.9, p = 0.002), with no differences between the AG and non-AG. Water consumption also increased (β = 0.2, p = 0.022), but only in the AG. Conclusion: The remote HIIT program was effective in improving body composition and physical fitness in adolescents with obesity. These findings highlight the potential of remote exercise interventions as a feasible and beneficial strategy within multi-component obesity treatments.
