1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

(1) Background: Individuals with obesity tend to stop exercising after the completion of a structured training program. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess adherence and body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels, and physical and mental health after a 12-month exercise program and an 18-month follow-up period in a group of male adults with obesity. (2) Methods: Thirty-four adults with obesity were evaluated before (T0) and after (T3) a 3-month combined training (COMB). After that, they followed a maintenance program with low-intensity aerobic activity for three months. Then, they were recalled for a 6-month training program including thresholds (THR) training until the end of the study (T12). Finally, they participated in a 18-months follow-up period that included suggestions for healthy lifestyles, which ended with assessments (T30). Thus, the assessments were carried out at the beginning and end of the first training protocol (T0 and T3), at the beginning and end of the second training protocol (T6 and T12) and 18 months after the end of the training program (T30). At all time points, body composition (i.e., BMI, fat mass [FM] and fat-free mass [FFM]), physical capacities (i.e., V̇O
