Optimising adolescent health: a comparative study of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on body composition and cardiovascular fitness in sedentary male youth.

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: Excess body fat and weight are key risk factors for morbidity and mortality, particularly during adolescence. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) are both widely used strategies to improve body composition, yet limited evidence exists comparing their effects among sedentary, normal-weight adolescent males. Methods: This randomized controlled study aimed to compare the effects of HIIT and MICT on body composition and cardiovascular fitness in sedentary male adolescents. Sixty normal-weight males aged 16-17 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HIIT ( Results: Significant reductions in body fat were observed in both the HIIT (-6.0%, Conclusions: Both HIIT and MICT are effective for improving body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary male adolescents. Given its shorter duration and comparable outcomes, HIIT may be a time-efficient option for integration into school-based physical education.
