Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Sleep Quality, Insomnia, and Inflammatory Markers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 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
Poor sleep quality and insomnia are increasingly linked to chronic inflammation and obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. Aerobic exercise is a promising non-pharmacological approach for enhancing sleep quality and reducing systemic inflammation; Therefore, we aim to systematically evaluate and quantify the effects of aerobic exercise interventions on subjective sleep quality, insomnia severity, and circulating markers (IL-6 and TNF-α) in adults. A systematic search was conducted in institutional databases (UNAM, UACJ) and PubMed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of exercise on sleep and inflammation. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB2 tool. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4 with random-effects models to estimate pooled mean differences (MD) and standardized mean differences (SMD), with 95% confidence intervals. Anaerobic protocols were excluded from the meta-analysis due to the insufficient availability of data.
