Combining Whole-Body Electromyostimulation and Dynamic Exercise After Bariatric Surgery: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Sham-Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe weight loss induced by bariatric surgery is accompanied by an important reduction in lean mass, where the aerobic capacity reflected by the peak oxygen consumption (V̇O
methodsRandomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study. Thirty-four patients were randomized after bariatric surgery into the WB-EMS (n = 17) or Sham (n = 17) groups. Body composition, anthropometry, sleep quality, anxiety level, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) were performed before bariatric surgery and after DET which consisted of 30-min dynamic exercises applied five times a week, for a 6-week. WB-EMS sessions were interspersed for 3 days a week using currents for endurance (85 Hz, 350 ms), and two sessions for strength (30 Hz, 350 ms) during DET.
resultsOnly the WB-EMS group significantly increased time (p = 0.002) and distance (p = 0.004) during CPX, in addition to the improvement in systolic blood pressure (p = < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (p = < 0.001) and leg fatigue (p = < 0.04) following recovery from exercise, when compared to Sham after intervention. Furthermore, both groups improved V̇O
conclusionsDET associated with WB-EMS improved exercise performance, the cardiovascular response, and leg fatigue. Moreover, early intervention composed of dynamic exercises was able to improve anxiety and sleep quality as well as aerobic capacity.
