Effects of resistance training on balance-related physical performance in older adults with sarcopenic obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Review in Journal of exercise science and fitness, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/objective: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize findings by quantitatively examining the effects of resistance training on balance-related physical performance in older adults with sarcopenic obesity (SO). Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on standalone resistance training interventions for older adults aged 60 years and older with SO were included. Five electronic databases (CENTRAL, PubMed/MEDLINE, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus) were searched until 2 April 2026. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database and Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation were used for assessing the risk of bias (RoB) in studies and certainty of evidence (CoE), respectively. Random-effects models were employed for meta-analyses. Results: Six RCTs ( Conclusion: Resistance training may be an effective and well-tolerated intervention for older adults with SO. Given low to very low CoE, more high-quality interventional studies with larger sample sizes are imperatively needed. Protocol registration number: PROSPERO CRD420251146059.
