Education-based, lifestyle intervention programs with unsupervised exercise improve outcomes in adults with metabolic syndrome. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Reviews in endocrine & metabolic disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
To determine whether lifestyle intervention programs comprising dietary intervention and prescribed, unsupervised exercise improve outcomes for people with metabolic syndrome. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. Online databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed and Embase were searched from the earliest date available to October 2020. Post-intervention data were pooled to calculate mean differences (MD) or standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using inverse variance methods and random effects models. Trial methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and overall quality of each meta-analysis was assessed using the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Eleven studies from 9 randomised controlled trials with 1,835 participants were included. There was high quality evidence that lifestyle intervention programs with unsupervised exercise reduced waist circumference (MD -2.82 cm, 95%CI -5.64 to 0.00, I
