Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Assisted Living Residents: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Older assisted living (AL) residents are at risk for decreasing physical activity (PA) and increasing sedentary behavior (SB), but the change is not well-documented. We aimed to (1) determine the feasibility and acceptability of a longitudinal study of PA/SB with accelerometers, tests of cognitive and physical function, and questionnaires, (2) establish a preliminary estimate of changes in PA/SB over 6 months, and (3) evaluate potential factors associated with PA/SB changes. Participants from nine AL facilities wore activPAL and ActiGraph accelerometers at baseline and 6 months, and completed other measures. Fifty residents completed baseline data collection, and 12% withdrew during the study. Over 6 months, there were small declines in PA and small increases in SB; PA change was more evident in individuals with cognitive impairment. Weak relationships were observed between PA/SB changes and 10 factors. This study supports the feasibility and acceptability of a longitudinal study of PA/SB in AL residents.
