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

backgroundTo describe patterns and predictors of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in patients awaiting (PRE) and after (POST) metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS).

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 180 participants (PRE: n = 63, POST: n = 117). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire on demographic and clinical variables, LTPA patterns, and professional guidance. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, and binomial logistic regression were used.

resultsThe sample was predominantly female (83.3%), with a mean age of 43.16 ± 11.13 years and BMI of 40.85 ± 10.79 kg/m

conclusionsLTPA participation and characteristics differ considerably between PRE and POST MBS groups. Receiving guidance from an exercise professional was significantly associated with higher PA levels. These findings highlight the importance of developing tailored LTPA programs that include professional support to encourage PA among MBS patients.
