Psychosocial outcomes following dual-task high-velocity exercise training in older adults: a secondary analysis of an 18-month cluster randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences, 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
objectivesPower and resistance training can improve older adults' perceived health, and while cognitive training has mixed benefits, combined effects remain uncertain. This secondary analysis of an 18-month cluster randomized controlled trial investigated whether dual-task functional power training (DT-FPT) improves psychosocial outcomes in older adults at risk for falls.
methodsTwenty-two independent-living retirement communities (300 residents, ≥65 years) were randomized to 12 months of group-based DT-FPT (6 months supervised + 6 months maintenance; 2/week, 45-60 min) performed with cognitive and/or motor tasks or control (CON), followed by a 6-month follow-up. Health-related quality of life (HR-QoL; SF-36v2), life satisfaction (Personal Wellbeing Index), and psychological distress (Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale [DASS-21]) were assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months, generating subscale, summary, and composite scores.
resultsOverall, 227 (76%) participants provided data at the 18-month follow-up; mean exercise adherence was 50% at 6 months and 40% at 12 months. At 6 months, DT-FPT showed net benefits compared to CON for physical functioning (1.77 points [95% CI: 0.03, 3.51]; p = .047), role-physical (2.71 [0.35, 5.08]; p = .025), and role-emotional (2.25 [0.09, 4.40]; p = .041) HR-QoL domains. No changes were observed in life satisfaction or psychological distress, but CON showed lower Anxiety DASS-21 subscale scores than DT-FPT at 12 months (-2.0 [-3.22, -0.76]; p = .001) and 18 months (-0.93 [-1.84, -0.02]; p = .045). DISCUSSION: DT-FPT delivered to older, retirement-living adults at risk of falls may improve select HR-QoL domains, potentially reducing perceived physical limitations in daily activities, but shows no sustained effects or impact on life satisfaction.
