The Role of Physical Activity in Minimizing Recurrence of Weight Gain Following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: Current Evidence and Suggestions for Advancing Future Research.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewPatients who undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) are advised to increase physical activity (PA) to help minimize weight recurrence. This report reviews current evidence for this recommendation and offers suggestions for advancing future research. RECENT
findingsMost observational studies suggest a link between higher PA and lower weight recurrence, yet they often rely on cross-sectional designs, making it difficult to determine the direction of this relationship. Randomized intervention trials remain limited, and current strategies may not sufficiently address the motivational barriers that hinder patients from sustaining higher PA levels. While some initiatives to address these gaps are in progress, further research should focus on approaches that accurately capture nadir weight to measure weight recurrence, clarify whether PA is more effective at preventing or treating weight recurrence, explore interventions beyond exercise-centric strategies, examine individual differences in response to PA, and include other relevant clinical and patient-centered outcomes.
