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

Design: Interventional Implementation Study. Setting: Outpatient private practice physiotherapy clinic. Participants: Adults with osteoporosis or at risk of developing osteoporosis. Intervention: Using the knowledge-to-action framework to implement a group physiotherapy program, participants were enrolled in a 6 week, twice weekly, 60-minute exercise intervention that targeted whole body strength and balance. Participants provided written feedback on the program. Results: The mean age of the participants was 72 (SD: 6.03, min 60 years, max 84 years). There were 2 males, and 41 females that participated in the study. The program was successfully integrated into an outpatient physiotherapy clinic. All participants enjoyed the exercises, the social aspect, and having a booklet to support their exercise. Participants suggested that the program could be improved by having a class capacity of 9 participants per class due to space, having pictures in the booklet. Preliminary physical outcome measures showed promise, the 30-second sit-to-stand improved by a mean of 3.1 repetitions (p<0.001). Conclusion: There was positive patient and clinician feedback on the implementation of the program within the clinic. Future iterations of the program will need to consider sustainability and accessibility of the program within the osteoporosis population.
