1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Older adults residing in long-term care often experience declines in physical and cognitive functions despite the access to in-house physical activity (PA) programs. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of PA with physical function and global cognitive function in older adults living in long-term care, while examining potential sex differences. A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted, involving 67 participants (34 men, 33 women). PA levels were assessed using tri-axial accelerometers. Physical function, including muscular strength, postural sway, and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and cognitive function were measured. Spearman correlation analysis revealed no significant associations between PA metrics and muscular strength, postural sway, or global cognitive function across the entire samples (
