Impact of physical activity associated with bariatric surgery on systemic arterial hypertension control: a systematic review.

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
backgroundObesity is a highly prevalent condition frequently associated with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective strategy for weight loss and has been shown to improve blood pressure (BP) control, whereas physical activity (PA) is recognized as an important adjuvant therapy for treatment of SAH. Nevertheless, evidence regarding the combined impact of BS and PA on BP reduction remains inconsistent.
objectivesThis review aimed to evaluate whether BS combined with PA contributes to additional BP reduction in individuals with obesity.
methodsThe review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024628299). Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, cohort and cross-sectional studies involving adults who underwent BS, with or without PA. Searches were performed in CENTRAL, PubMed, LILACS, and BVS. Methodological quality was assessed using the RoB2 and JBI tools, and the certainty of evidence was graded according to GRADE.
resultsOf the 406 records screened, nine studies were included (n = 504 participants). BS alone was associated with significant reductions in BP. When PA was combined with BS, additional reductions were reported; however, the findings were heterogeneous and supported by low to very low certainty of evidence. The follow-up duration across studies ranged from 4 months to 5 years.
conclusionThe combination of BS and PA provides modest but clinically relevant benefits in BP reduction. However, the limited number of studies and short follow-up periods preclude definitive conclusions. High-quality, long-term randomized clinical trials are warranted to clarify the role of PA in optimizing BP control after BS. CLINICAL TRIAL OR SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024628299).
