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
backgroundObesity is associated with a wide range of complications and an increased risk of premature occurrence of physical problems, mental disorders, and some diseases. Doing sports activities along with other treatment strategies can be an effective solution to overcome this problem. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effect of balanced aerobic exercise and CX-WORK on the expression of growth genes, metabolic biomarkers, and indicators of reverse cholesterol transport in obese women. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this semi-experimental study, with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group, 45 individuals with an average age of 25.47 years and a BMI between 30 and 35 kg/m2 were purposefully selected among the obese women of Isfahan City and were randomly divided to three groups of 15 individuals; Balanced aerobic exercises, CX-WORK and control exercises. Rhythmic aerobic training protocol including eight weeks, rhythmic movements accompanied by music, and three sessions of 40 to 50 min per week was implemented incrementally. The CX-WORK exercise program was performed for eight weeks, three sessions a week and each session lasted 30 min. This program was done in six stages warming up, strength and endurance movements related to central muscles 1, standing endurance movements 1, standing endurance movements 2, strength and endurance movements related to central muscles 2, and strength and endurance movements related to central muscles 3. Blood sampling was conducted to estimate the study variables and to measure height, weight, and BMI index in two stages pre-test and post-test. To test the significance of group mean differences, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's
resultsThe results of the study showed that in both experimental groups; The expression of GH, IGF-1, Follistatin, ABCG1, ABCG5, and ABCG8 genes increased significantly (
conclusionThese results showed the beneficial effects of balanced aerobic exercise and CX-WORK on the expression of growth genes, metabolic biomarkers, and indicators of reverse cholesterol transport in obese women. Therefore, the use of these training methods is recommended as a suitable prevention and treatment method for obesity and improving the aforementioned indicators.
