Effects of exercise in older adults with osteosarcopenic adiposity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo evaluate the effects of exercise training on patients with osteosarcopenic adiposity (OSA).
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on exercise treatment for OSA patients. The search included both Chinese and English literature up to April 2024. Reference lists and grey literature were also reviewed. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.
resultsA total of 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Exercise interventions significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD) (MD = 0.0195, 95% CI: 0 to 0.02, P = 0.03), body fat (BF) (MD = -4.0, 95% CI: -5.46 to -2.54, P < 0.01), and hand grip strength (HGS) (MD = 3.13, 95% CI: 0.72 to 5.54, P = 0.01) in patients with OSA. However, no significant differences were observed in skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (MD = 0.12, 95% CI: -0.26 to 0.50, P = 0.55), gait speed (GS) (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI: -1.26 to 2.76, P = 0.47), or C-reactive protein (CRP) (MD = -0.23, 95% CI: -0.90 to 0.44, P = 0.50).
conclusionExercise interventions can effectively improve clinical symptoms and signs in OSA patients to varying degrees, highlighting the importance of exercise in the management of OSA.
