Effects of exercise programmes delivered using video technology on physical performance and falls in people aged 60 years and over living in the community: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
objectivesThis systematic review and meta-analysis synthesised the evidence and evaluated the effect of exercise programmes delivered using instructional videos compared with control on physical performance and falls in community-dwelling older people aged 60 years and older.
designA systematic review and meta-analysis conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, TRIP and PEDro. Grey literature sources included theses and dissertations from Ethos and ProQuest. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies were included if they involved community-dwelling older people (aged >60 years) participating in exercise programmes delivered through instructional videos. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Treatment effects were estimated using a random-effects model, reporting 95% CIs, mean differences (MD) and standardised MDs (SMD, Hedges' g) for outcomes measured in different units. The risk of bias was assessed using ROB2, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
resultsA total of 7487 records were screened, with 16 studies (n=1910) meeting the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed significant effects of video-delivered exercise programmes in lower extremity strength (SMD=0.35, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.59; I
conclusionsVideo-delivered exercise programmes improved physical performance, particularly lower extremity strength, balance and mobility, with low to moderate quality evidence. There is uncertainty about the effect of video-delivered exercise programmes on the number of falls, number of fallers and fear of falling. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023415530.
