Timed mobility: description of measurement, performance, and dimensionality among older adults.
Observational study in Disability and rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo describe the measurement, performance, and dimensionality of five timed mobility activities completed by older adults. MATERIALS AND
methodsCross-sectional observational study using correlational and factor analysis to examine the dimensionality of five timed mobility activities performed by 189 older adults in an outpatient setting.
resultsThe times to complete supine-to-sit, five repetition sit-to-stand, 8 m comfortable gait, four step ascent, and four step descent were correlated significantly with one another (r = 0.294-0.827, p < 0.001). The times were also internally consistent (α = 0.71) and loaded highly on a single factor (0.587-0.888).
conclusionThe timed measurements of this study were easily obtained. They can be viewed as unidimensional and representative of a single construct of the international classification of functioning, disability, and health -timed mobility. Implications for rehabilitation For patients who are independent in mobility, timing offers a means of differentiating the performance of individual patients. As the times to complete five mobility activities are interrelated, mobility is supported as a rehabilitation construct and patients who are faster at one activity should be expected to be faster at another.
