The association of locomotive and non-locomotive physical activity measured by an accelerometer with functional fitness in healthy elderly men: a pilot study.
Article in Journal of exercise nutrition & biochemistry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of various aspects of daily physical activity, such as the number of steps, time spent in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), and locomotive and non-locomotive MVPA measured by a triaxial accelerometer, with the functional fitness in healthy elderly men.
methodsThe subjects of this study were 22 healthy elderly men aged over 65 years. The participants wore a triaxial accelerometer for two weeks to estimate their daily physical activities. The level of functional fitness was measured based on "National Fitness Award 100 in Korea" immediately after the measurement of two weeks of daily physical activities.
resultsThe results showed that active healthy elderly men with more than 6,500 walking steps per day and more than 60 min per day spent in MVPA showed a significantly higher 2-min marching in place and index of cardiorespiratory endurance compared to less physically active participants. Particularly, locomotive MVPA was significantly associated with cardiorespiratory endurance levels (r = 0.50), whereas non-locomotive MVPA was not associated with other measurements of functional fitness.
conclusionIncreased MVPA time, especially the locomotive MVPA, can effectively suppress the decrease in cardiorespiratory endurance level in elderly men. However, no association was observed between non-locomotive MVPA, such as household activities, and functional fitness in healthy elderly men.
