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

Although group participation benefits older adults' health, its effects may vary by group type. The Japanese Health and Welfare Co-operative (Hew Co-op) organises peer-led group participation called 'Han Kai' meetings to promote health literacy, but the impact of Han Kai participation on health indicators remains unexplored. This study aimed to examine whether the frequency and duration of Han Kai participation were associated with risk of functional disability. This was a prospective cohort study conducted in Japan between 2018 and 2022. The participants were Han Kai members aged ≥ 65 years who did not receive a Long-Term Care certification. The exposure variables were the frequency of participation in Han Kai per year and the years of participation in 2018. The main outcome was a risk assessment scale score for predicting incident functional disabilities in 2022. Multivariate linear regression was conducted to adjust for covariates. In the study, 2359 older adults participated. Overall, the frequency of Han Kai participation was not significantly associated with disability risk scores. However, participants with ≥10 years of involvement had significantly lower scores (β = -1.95, 95% CI: -3.64 to -0.26,
