Trial reportJournal of geriatric physical therapy (2001)
A randomized controlled trial of an activity specific exercise program for individuals with Alzheimer disease in long-term care settings.
Trial report in Journal of geriatric physical therapy (2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 whether an activity specific exercise program could improve ability to perform basic mobility activities in long-term care residents with Alzheimer disease (AD).
designRandomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical trial.
settingResidents of 7 long-term care facilities.
participantsEighty-two long-term care residents with mild to severe AD.
interventionAn activity specific exercise program was compared to a walking program and to an attention control. MEASUREMENTS: Ability to perform bed mobility and transfers was assessed using the subscales of the Acute Care Index of Function; functional mobility was measured using the 6-Minute Walk test.
resultsSubjects receiving the activity specific exercise program improved in ability to perform transfers, whereas subjects in the other 2 groups declined.
