Integrating functional ageing into daily clinical practice.
Review in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The analysis of the ageing trajectory clearly demonstrates the constant involvement of functional ability in daily life, from its development in youth, to its preservation through midlife into very old age. While maintaining function appears to be largely related to persistent regular exercise, the risk factors for functional decline are extremely diverse, ranging from a decrease or discontinuation of physical activity, to nutritional/metabolic disturbances, chronic diseases and unfavourable socio-demographic and socio-economic contexts. Prevention of functional decline is a major public health challenge, both for individuals and for society as a whole, and needs to be urgently addressed. Engaging citizens to be conscious of their responsibility for, and role in their own ageing process is equally as important as reinforcing the involvement of society in promoting healthy ageing through enhanced basic and health education, promotion of a healthy diet, long term practice of moderate physical activity, and the continual battle against deleterious life habits and behaviours. The success of these combined actions would be quite simply demonstrated by a change from the current pandemics of morbidity, to the compression of disability, which is expected by all.
