1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Walking difficulty is a common and costly problem in older adults. A potentially important yet unaddressed strategy to enhance walking ability through exercise intervention is to add a timing and coordination component in gait training (i.e. task specific timing and coordination exercise intervention) to the usual strength, endurance, and flexibility training. We describe the methods and rationale of a randomized single-blind, physical therapist supervised, exercise intervention trial to compare the effects of a standard strength, endurance, and flexibility program to a standard plus timing and coordination program in community-dwelling older adults walking slower than the desired gait speed of 1.2 m/s. Exercise sessions are twice weekly for 12 weeks. Participants are assessed at baseline, 12 weeks (post intervention), 24 weeks and 36 weeks. The primary outcome is gait speed, secondary outcomes represent components of the interventions (strength, endurance, flexibility, timing and coordination), and tertiary outcomes are measure of activity and participation (Late Life Function and Disability Instrument and physical activity). The findings of this trial will (1) establish if a standard-plus task specific timing and coordination program is superior to a standard strength and endurance program in improving mobility, activity and participation and (2) determine if the improvements are sustained over time. The information derived from this project will provide valuable insight into the prevention and management of walking difficulty, which is so common in older Americans.
