1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The rising prevalence of obesity among young adults presents significant health challenges, particularly due to its adverse effects on cognitive function and physical mobility. This cross-sectional study examined the effects of physical activity on cognitive performance and gait speed in obese individuals aged 18 to 25 years. Seventy-six participants were categorized as either physically active or sedentary based on the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. All enrolled participants completed the study, and no data were missing. Anthropometric data, including body mass, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference, were collected using standardized procedures. Cognitive assessments included the Trail Making Test, Stroop Color and Word Test, Hand Reaction Time Test, and Logical Memory Test. Gait speed was evaluated using the 10-meter walk test. The physically active group showed significantly better results in logical memory, executive function, and all Stroop test conditions (
