Feasibility of a physical activity programme embedded into the daily lives of older adults living in nursing homes: protocol for a randomised controlled pilot feasibility study.
Article in Trials, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03484715 (Feasibility of a Physical Activity Programme Embedded Into the Daily Lives of Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundOlder adults living in nursing homes spend the majority of their time inactive. The associated levels of chronic disease place an increasing burden on healthcare systems. Physical activity (PA) interventions delivered through exercise classes may be resource-intensive and require specialist staff. The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a PA programme embedded into the daily lives of older adults living in nursing homes and to examine the preliminary effects of this on physical mobility and quality of life.
methodsA randomised controlled pilot feasibility study, including embedded qualitative and economic components will be carried out. Two randomly selected nursing homes will take part in the study; participants (n = 20) in one nursing home will receive a three-month PA intervention and participants (n = 20) in the other will be a usual care control. Nursing home staff will be provided with training and support to monitor participants PA programmes. Feasibility data will be collected on recruitment, randomisation, assessment and intervention procedures. Criteria for progression of the pilot feasibility study to a definitive trial will be specified. The Timed Up and Go test, Nottingham Health Profile, 10-Metre Walk test, the Investigating Choice Experiments for the Preferences of Older People Capability index and the Bangor Goal Setting Interview will be assessed at baseline, three-month and 12-month follow-up. Between-group and within-individual effects will be estimated using appropriate linear mixed models. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with staff and participants of the intervention group within one month after the intervention to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the programme. A subset of control participants will be interviewed to describe usual care. Economic data will be collected to examine costs of the intervention in comparison with costs in the control group. DISCUSSION: The findings will facilitate refinement of the PA programme and development of a clear protocol for subsequent evaluation of the PA intervention in a definitive randomised controlled trial.
