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

Falls among older adults are a major public health concern due to their association with functional decline and increased healthcare utilization. This study investigated factors associated with fall occurrence by comparing older adults enrolled in a community-based physical activity program with sedentary older adults. This observational cross-sectional study included 67 older adults: 35 participants enrolled in the Niterói 60 Up program (G60UP; 68 ± 4 years) and 32 sedentary older adults in a sedentary comparison group (SCG; 70 ± 7 years). Assessments included anthropometric measurements, medication use, Timed Up and Go (TUG), Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and orthostatic testing. Compared with the SCG, G60UP participants reported fewer falls during the previous year (0.26 ± 0.51 vs. 0.78 ± 0.83;
