Beyond weight loss: the value of physical activity and exercise for improving cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with overweight and obesity.
Review in Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The global prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased markedly over recent decades. In clinical obesity care, and in the management of other chronic conditions, the role of physical exercise has largely been evaluated in the context of weight loss. Yet, while it only leads to modest changes in body weight, structured exercise provides extensive health benefits beyond weight loss. A multimodal exercise approach, progressing from reducing sedentary time to incorporating aerobic and resistance training, can provide an effective strategy to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health and body composition. Moreover, integrating structured exercise into surgical and pharmacological obesity care trajectories may support long-term, post-treatment health improvements. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on the effect of exercise on cardiometabolic health and body composition in individuals with overweight and obesity. Furthermore, we also examine the role of structured exercise in supporting cardiometabolic health and preserving skeletal muscle mass during surgical and pharmacological obesity treatment.
