Intervention effects of high-intensity interval exercise and moderate-intensity continuous exercise on executive functions in obese adolescents with low socioeconomic status.

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
Objective: This study aimed to compare the intervention effects of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on the executive functions of obese adolescents with low socioeconomic status (SES). Methods: A total of 84 obese adolescents aged 12 ~ 15 years with low SES were selected and randomly divided into three groups: the HIIE group, the MICE group, and the control group, with 28 participants in each group. The HIIE group underwent 12 weeks of combined aerobic and anaerobic training, performed 3 times per week for 60 min each session. The MICE group conducted 12 weeks of outdoor jogging, 3 times per week for 60 min each session. The control group maintained their normal daily life and academic activities. The GO/NOGO task, 2-back task, and More-odd shifting task were used to assess inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, respectively. Meanwhile, body mass index (BMI) and heart rate were monitored throughout the study. Results: After the intervention, both the HIIE group and the MICE group showed significant improvements in inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility (all Conclusion: Both HIIE and MICE can effectively improve the executive functions and BMI of obese adolescents with low SES, but they exert selective promoting effects. HIIE is more advantageous in improving BMI and reducing the reaction time of cognitive flexibility, while MICE is superior in enhancing the accuracy rate of inhibitory control.
