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

Regular physical activity is an important factor in healthy aging. This cross-sectional study analyzed the association between lifelong physical activity and current quality of life and physical fitness in 220 people aged 60 years and over from 2010 to 2016. The subjects were divided into two groups based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on physical activity: consistently active from a young age-active group (143 people) and inactive in their youth and currently-inactive group (77 people). The first two questions from the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire (quality of life and self-assessment of health) assessed quality of life, and the Senior Fitness Test evaluated physical fitness. Additional data included handgrip strength, age, and gender. Physical activity differentiated lower (p = 0.003, η
