Effects of exercise training on cognitive function in community-dwelling older women.
Trial report in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTaiwan has witnessed a continuous increase in average life expectancy. However, older adult women in community settings face more pronounced challenges within the context of a super-aged society, such as sedentary lifestyles, excessive television consumption, and low engagement in educational and social activities. Moreover, their health indicators are consistently less favorable than those of males. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise training on the cognitive function of older female residents in community care centers.
methodsThe study randomly assigned 30 female residents of Kaohsiung City, aged 70-85, into two groups: the intervention group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The intervention group underwent a 20-week cognitive activity program, while the control group received no training. Statistical analyses were conducted using two-way mixed design ANOVA and t-test.
resultsThe results of this study demonstrated significant differences (P <.05) in the four cognitive domains. Overall, the intervention group exhibited a substantial effect on the total Montreal Cognitive Assessment Score, attention, delayed recall, and orientation compared to the control group.
conclusionsBased on the findings of this study, it may be suggested that educational practitioners develop tailored cognitive activity programs for older female residents in community care centers. These programs should consider participants' varying physical and cognitive abilities, available space, and appropriate teaching aids. Such initiatives hold the potential to significantly enhance the cognitive functions and overall well-being of older female adults residents in community care centers.
