Exploring the Role of Resistance Training in the Prevention and Management of Chronic Conditions: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinics and practice, 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
Physical activity is widely recognized as a fundamental component of health promotion and chronic disease prevention. Historically the focus has primarily been on aerobic exercise, while resistance training has received comparatively less attention. This imbalance underestimates the critical role of muscular performance in supporting physical health, functional capacity, long-term mobility, and overall quality of life. Current physical activity guidelines for Americans recommend that adults engage regularly in both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. However, only approximately one-quarter of adults in the United States meet these recommendations, despite nearly half achieving recommended levels of aerobic activity alone. Although any form of physical activity can confer health benefits, participation in both aerobic exercise and muscle-strengthening, such as resistance training, produces more comprehensive and substantial health outcomes. As research on resistance training has evolved beyond its traditional focus on athletic performance, a growing body of evidence has demonstrated its effectiveness in the prevention and management of numerous chronic conditions. This narrative review summarizes the role of resistance training in the prevention and management of several prevalent lifestyle-related chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and osteoporosis.
