Randomized Controlled Trial of Exercise to Improve Walking Energetics in Older Adults.
Article in Innovation in aging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesMobility limitation is common and has been linked to high energetic requirements of daily activities, including walking. The study objective was to determine whether two separate forms of exercise could reduce the energy cost of walking and secondary outcomes related to activity and participation domains among older adults with mobility limitation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsCommunity-dwelling older adults with self-reported mobility limitation (
resultsExercise session attendance was high: 86% for timing and coordination, 81% for aerobic walking, and 90% for stretching and relaxation. At 12 weeks, timing and coordination reduced the mean energy cost of walking by 15% versus stretching and relaxation ( DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Twelve weeks of timing and coordination, but not aerobic walking, reduced the energy cost of walking among older adults with mobility limitation, particularly among those with high baseline energy cost; reductions in energy cost were sustained following training cessation. Timing and coordination also led to a trend toward faster gait speed.
