Effects of Exercise Training on Weight Loss in Patients Who Have Undergone Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Trials.

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
The combination of bariatric surgery and physical exercise has been suggested as a promising strategy to positively influence obesity, not only body weight but also all associated comorbidities. An electronic search of intervention studies was carried out in which an exercise training program was implemented after bariatric surgery. The quality of each study was assessed and the data were meta-analyzed using a random effect model. Twenty-six articles were included in the systematic review and 16 in the meta-analysis. As the main conclusion, exercise in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery does not seem to be effective in enhancing weight loss (SMD = 0.15; 95% CI = - 0.02, 0.32; p = 0.094). However, the variability in the protocols used makes it too early to reach a definite conclusion.
