Impact of a multicomponent physical exercise program on intrinsic capacity in community-dwelling older adults.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: In 2015, the World Health Organization introduced intrinsic capacity, a health indicator encompassing five domains aimed at promoting healthy aging. Multicomponent exercise programs are recommended to maintain and optimize intrinsic capacity; however, evidence on their effects in robust older adults is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a multicomponent exercise program on intrinsic capacity in older adults. Methods: Older adults (≥60 years) enrolled in a multicomponent training program in Porto Alegre (RS) were evaluated for intrinsic capacity using specific tests for each domain. The total score, ranging from 0 to 10 points, was obtained by summing the scores of the five domains. Participants underwent a 12-week multicomponent exercise intervention and were reassessed. Results: After the 12-week intervention, the composite intrinsic capacity score significantly increased. Significant improvements were found in the cognitive, vitality and locomotion domains. The practice of Chinese curative gymnastics contributed to a one-point increase in the composite intrinsic capacity score. No association was found between frequency, duration of training, or the number of exercise modalities and the composite intrinsic capacity score. Conclusion: The multicomponent exercise program positively influenced composite intrinsic capacity, with notable improvements in vitality, cognition, and mobility. Personalization and individualization of training, combined with health education and social integration, were crucial in promoting healthy aging in the studied sample.
