A Meta-Analysis of Studies of the Effect of Mind Body Exercise on Various Domains of Cognitive Function in Older People With or Without Mild Cognitive Impairment.

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
Objectivethis meta-analysis evaluates the effects of mind-body exercise (MBE) on cognitive function in older adults with or without mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We examined the impact of different MBE, including yoga, tai chi, qigong, and meditation, on six cognitive domains: attention, executive function, working memory, verbal memory, processing speed, and visual-spatial construction.MethodsWe searched eight electronic databases from inception till August 2024. The literature search, study selection, data extraction, methodological quality assessment and statistical analyses were performed.ResultsA total of 45 studies, comprising 4602 participants, were included. Results indicated that MBE had a moderate positive effect on visual-spatial construction (Hedges'
