Trial report in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe purpose was to evaluate the interventional effects of activity trails (courses) on fall risk factors and health-related quality of life (hrQoL). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 94 subjects (67.7 ± 5.7 years; 29 men, 65 women) completed the following measurements prior to and 12 weeks after the initiation of the activity trail intervention: maximum isometric leg extensors force (Fmax, m3 diagnoses©), gait velocity (GV), and static postural stability (STAB, Zebris FDM©), fall-associated self-efficacy (FALL, FES-I), and hrQoL (SF-36).
resultsDuring the 12-week intervention period, the participants increased Fmax (1.63 ± 0.6 vs. 1.70 ± 0.6 N•kg(-1)) and GV (1.06 ± 0.25 vs. 1.11 ± 0.18m•s(-1); p < 0.05). Neither FALL (19.44 ± 3.6 vs. 19.41 ± 4.3 points) nor STAB (84.3 ± 56.4 vs. 79.7 ± 63.1 mm(2)) changed. Additionally, significant improvements in hrQoL regarding vitality (56.3 ± 17.2 vs. 63.2 ± 18.3 points) and mental health (69.4 ± 18.7 vs. 75.5 ± 16.5 points; p < 0.05) were found.
conclusionThe improvements in fall-related risk factors and hrQoL may be expected to contribute to fall prevention and psychosocial quality of life.
