Effects of cocoa extract supplementation on physical performance measures: results from the randomized controlled COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes study.
Trial report in JBMR plus, 2026. 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
Poor physical performance is associated with a higher risk of falls, fractures, and premature death among older adults. We determined whether supplementation with cocoa extract vs placebo or multivitamin/multimineral (MVM) vs placebo for 2 yr benefited physical performance measures. The COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study was a double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trial of supplemental cocoa extract and/or MVM vs placebo for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer in 21 442 US adults. This ancillary study was completed in a New England sub-cohort that underwent physical performance measurements, including grip strength, walking speed, standing balance, repeated chair stands, and timed-up and go (TUG) test, at baseline and 2-yr follow-up. In the clinic sub-cohort (
