Comparing In-Person to Tele-Exercise High-Intensity Interval Training in Adults With Class II/III Obesity.

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: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of tele-exercise. Providers must now determine the most suitable modality of supervised exercise training for patients. This study compared exercise attendance and intensity during supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) between in-person and tele-exercise sessions among adults with class II/III obesity. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of 62 participants examining exercise and surgical weight loss effects on neuropathy. Participants underwent 2 in-person supervised and 1 unsupervised HIIT sessions weekly for 2 years. After the pandemic onset, sessions shifted to tele-exercise. We evaluated associations between session attendance and intensity with pre- versus post-lockdown timing. Results: Supervised session attendance increased after switching from in-person to tele-exercise sessions (incident rate ratio [IRR]: 1.50, 95% CI: [1.27, 1.79]). Pre-pandemic follow-up time was associated with decreased attendance (IRR: 0.95, 95% CI: [0.94, 0.97]), but supervised session attendance increased after the COVID-19 shutdown (IRR: 1.05, 95% CI: [1.03, 1.07]). Participants with prediabetes or diabetes showed reduced attendance, whereas those undergoing bariatric surgery had increased attendance. No change was seen in exercise intensity after switching from in-person to tele-exercise sessions (point estimate: -0.01, 95% CI: [-0.02, -0.01]), but small effects of follow-up time on exercise intensity were seen with increases over time before the pandemic and decreases after the lockdown. Conclusion: Tele-exercise resulted in improved attendance for HIIT training among adults with class II/III obesity without meaningful differences in exercise intensity, supporting its use for this population.
