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

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to: 1) explore muscular fitness adaptations (e.g., muscle mass, muscle strength, functional performance) in older adults (≥ 60 years) following exercise with resistance training compared to control; and 2) investigate the moderating effects of load intensity, training frequency, and movement velocity on muscular fitness adaptations. Methods: Four databases were searched (April 2024, updated 2025). Pooled effects for each outcome were summarized using Standardized Mean Difference (Hedges' Results: Sixteen studies were eligible ( Conclusions: Resistance training effectively enhances muscular fitness in older adults. Load intensity, frequency, and movement velocity (SubmaxV was better for muscle mass and muscle strength compared to MaxV, and MaxV for functional performance) may significantly modulate improvements in muscular fitness adaptations.
