Effects of 75 min of weekly exercise snacks on body composition, cardiometabolic health, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower-body explosive power in overweight and obese female university students.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Overweight and obesity have become increasingly prevalent among female university students, whereas conventional exercise interventions are often limited by poor adherence and time constraints. Exercise snacks (ES) may offer a flexible and time-efficient alternative; however, their effectiveness in this population remains unclear. Objective: We compared the effects of 8 weeks of ES (75 min/week) and HIIT on body composition, cardiometabolic health, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower-body explosive power in overweight and obese females in a real-world setting. Methods: Thirty overweight and obese female university students were randomized to either the ES group or the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group in an 8-week randomized controlled trial. Both groups completed 75 min of bodyweight exercise per week. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included body composition, cardiometabolic health, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower-body explosive power. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze training effects, with Bonferroni Results: Compared with the HIIT group, the ES group showed significantly lower RPE throughout the intervention period ( Conclusion: In conclusion, in a real-world remote setting, 75 min/week of bodyweight-based ES may be a promising strategy that warrants confirmation in adequately powered randomized controlled trials.
