[Normal data of functional assessment tools of the elderly in Spain: the FRADEA study].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine the normal values of some of the functional assessment tools most used in Spain.
designCross-sectional study of the first cut of a concurrent population based cohort.
settingAlbacete city Health Area.
participantsA total of 993 subjects aged 70 years or over and participants in the FRADEA (Frailty and dependence in Albacete, Spain) cohort. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: An analysis was made of disability and function questionnaires, which included, Barthel, Lawton and Short Form of the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (SF-LLFDI), Holden's Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), and functional tests: walking speed (m/s), Timed Up and Go (TUG) (sec), one-leg balance time (sec), timed 5 Times Sit to Stand Test (5STS) (seg), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), grip strength (kg), and elbow flexion strength (kg). The means, quartiles and percentiles are described, in the global cohort and in the male and female sub-groups aged between 70 and 79 years or aged 80 years or over.
resultsThe quartiles of the different instruments were as follow: Barthel (80, 95, 100), Lawton (3, 6,8), SF-LLFDI (70, 111, 131), FAC (4, 5, 5), walking speed (0.51, 0.79, 1.00), TUG (13.8, 11.4, 9.8), one-leg balance time (3, 7, 15), 5STS (16.3, 13.0, 10.7), SPPB (7, 9, 11), grip strength (15, 20, 29), and elbow flexion strength (11, 20, 32). The younger ones, males and those living within the community showed a better performance in all the instruments.
conclusionsThe normal values of a cohort of the elderly population based in Albacete using different functional assessment instruments are presented. These could be useful in clinical practice or research.
