Effects of interventions on physical activity in nursing home residents.
Review in European journal of ageing, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04221724 (A Multicomponent Physical Exercise Program), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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

Abstract
The aim of this review was to evaluate current evidence regarding the effects of interventions on physical activity in the subgroup of nursing home residents as well as to critically review the assessment methods used in this regard. Published studies through January 2015 were searched in The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Knowledge, PsycInfo, Psyndex, Psycarticles, CC Med, and DissOnline; and by manual search. For randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to be included, an intervention had to be conducted with nursing home residents aged 65 years and above and physical activity had to be assessed using standardized, quantitative methods. Study quality was evaluated using an established Cochrane rating tool for RCTs. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Only one intervention study with main focus on a modification of physical activity behavior could be identified. Physical activity assessments used in the studies were partly limited regarding objectivity or psychometric quality. Hence, the documentation of effects of interventions is restricted. Six studies reported significant increases of physical activity in nursing home residents and thus positive intervention effects, which points at the feasibility and high potential of intervention programs to promote physical activity in this setting. Enhanced individual contact as well as physical exercise combined with behavioral interventions and the inclusion of nursing staff seems to be most effective in this regard. As only one study involved post-intervention follow-up assessments, sustainability of effects remained unclear.
