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
Objective: Lack of time is the main barrier to physical exercise routines. This study evaluated the impact of whole-body, low-cost, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) using bodyweight exercises on old subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Material and methods: Forty participants (mean age: 72.4 ± 5.9 years; 36 women) with MetS admitted to a public health service center were randomized into control and HIIT groups. The 40-min HIIT protocol consisted of 60-s exercises at 75%-85% maximum heart rate monitored by finger oximeter, followed by 120 s of passive rest, performed three times weekly for eight weeks. We assessed exercise capacity (VO Results: HIIT improved VO Conclusions: The low-cost bodyweight HIIT protocol is an easy and effective strategy for improving cardiometabolic health in the elderly with MetS. Our results highlight the importance of introducing this approach into public health programs, particularly in resource-limited settings, to manage metabolic disorders and promote healthy aging.
