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

Background: The potential advantages of concurrent aerobic and resistance training (CART) for enhancing cardiometabolic health-related outcomes appear to surpass the outcomes of engaging in aerobic or resistance training alone. The present study aimed to synthesize the available scientific evidence on the effects of CART on body composition, lipid metabolism, and physical function in patients with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to August 7, 2024. The review focused on randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials of CART. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess eligible studies, and the GRADE method to evaluate the reliability of evidence. A random-effects model was used and data were analyzed using standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: A total of 22,878 studies were retrieved; only 20 studies were included, and data were extracted from 1,289 participants (57.0 ± 7.0 years; 31.1 ± 4.6 kg/m Conclusions: The present results indicate clear evidence that CART has a beneficial role in the improvement of several cardiometabolic health-related parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant overweight/obesity. More trials with robust methodological design are needed to investigate the dose-response effects, training parameters formation, and potential mechanisms.
