While energy restriction (ER) is central to obesity treatment, the comparative effects of different exercise modalities added to ER on inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We systematically searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating energy restriction (ER) alone, ER combined with aerobic exercise (ER+AE), high-intensity interval training (ER+HIIT), or combined exercise (ER+COE) in participants with overweight or obesity. The primary comparisons were ER+exercise interventions vs. ER alone. Treatment effects were quantified as standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Treatment hierarchy was explored using the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Curve (SUCRA) and interpreted as supportive rather than primary evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-four randomized controlled trials involving 1,694 participants were included. Compared with ER alone, ER+AE yielded relatively steady incremental improvements across inflammatory endpoints, with favorable effects on CRP (SMD \u22120.52, 95% CI \u22120.97 to \u22120.07), hs-CRP (SMD \u22120.32, 95% CI \u22120.52 to \u22120.12), TNF-\u03b1 (SMD \u22120.48, 95% CI \u22120.85 to \u22120.11), and IL-6 (SMD \u22120.35, 95% CI \u22120.64 to \u22120.06). For secondary outcomes, ER+COE was associated with a greater increase in adiponectin than ER alone (SMD 0.56, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.05), although this finding should be interpreted cautiously given the smaller evidence network. By contrast, none of the exercise-combined ER interventions showed statistically significant additional improvements in HOMA-IR compared with ER alone. No statistical evidence of global or local inconsistency was detected; however, the power to detect inconsistency was limited because several outcome networks were small or sparsely connected.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>When ER alone was used as the primary comparator, adding exercise produced biomarker-specific incremental benefits. ER+AE showed noticeable additional anti-inflammatory effects, particularly for hs-CRP, CRP, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6. ER+COE was associated with increased adiponectin, whereas no exercise modality demonstrated a statistically significant additional benefit for HOMA-IR beyond ER alone. Overall, adjunctive exercise may provide targeted immunometabolic benefits during ER-based obesity treatment, but the current evidence does not support a single universally superior exercise modality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Systematic review registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n
