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

introductionPrefrailty is common among community-dwelling older adults with diabetes and can lead to adverse health outcomes. With effective exercise interventions, prefrailty is reversible. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the effects of exercise interventions for prefrail older adults with diabetes. This study presents a study protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of an exercise intervention based on the Capacity, Opportunity and Motivation Behaviour (COM-B) model among community-dwelling prefrail older adults with diabetes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Using a randomised controlled trial design, a total of 100 community-dwelling prefrail older adults with diabetes will be allocated to either an intervention or a control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 16-week multicomponent exercise intervention based on the COM-B model, while those in the control group will receive usual diabetes care and general advice on physical activity. The primary outcome is frailty status, and the secondary outcomes include physical function, quality of life, depressive symptoms, self-efficacy for exercise and fasting blood glucose. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, week 8 and week 16. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (approval number: K2023-320). The findings will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2400082831.
