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

introductionImprovement in sleep quality in older adults has been observed after aerobic, resistance, and combined (aerobic and resistance) training; however, little is known about multimodal exercise training, a combination of modalities that aims to improve functional capabilities in this population. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of a multimodal exercise training program on sleep in older adults.

methodsThirty-two participants (70.1 ± 5.7 years; 29.9 ± 4.9 kg/m²) were randomly assigned to multimodal exercise training or control groups in a 2:1 ratio, stratified by sex and age. Progressive training was carried out 3x/week, with each session lasting 45 to 60 minutes. Sleep was evaluated using Actigraphy for 7 consecutive days. All evaluations were performed by a blinded assessor.

resultsAll evaluations were performed by a blinded assessor. After 16 weeks, the exercise group showed a significant within-group reduction in sleep latency (mean difference [MD] = -3.4 min; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -6.6, -0.2). In between-group comparisons, the multimodal exercise training group demonstrated significantly better outcomes than the control group, including improved sleep efficiency (MD = 6.6%; 95% CI: 1.8, 11.4) and reduced wake after sleep onset (WASO) (MD = -33.2 min; 95% CI: -65.9, -0.5) and sleep fragmentation (MD = -8.0; 95% CI: -15.6, -0.6). Intervention adherence was 90%.

conclusionMultimodal exercise training was effective in improving sleep in older adults, representing a promising strategy for this population due to its low cost and high participant adherence.
