Trial report in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03777111 (Effect of Single and Double Task Training on Gait, Balance and Functional Mobility in the Elderly), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

purposeDual-task training has beneficial effects on older individuals for gait and cognition. This study was aimed to make a comparison between the effects of individual progressive single- and dual-task training on gait and cognition among healthy older individuals.

methodsA total of 32 participants were divided randomly into two groups as the single-task group (n = 16, 64.6 ± 3.3 years, 7 males and 9 females) and dual-task group (n = 16, 65.6 ± 2.6 years, 8 males and 8 females). The 10-m walk test with the LEGSys device was used to assess spatio-temporal gait parameters. The cognitive parameters were evaluated using the Standardized Mini-Mental State Exam and Stroop Test. An individual progressive 60 min single- and dual-task training programs were applied twice per week for a period of 6 weeks.

resultsThere were significant differences for both gait and cognition variables in the dual-task training group (p < 0.05), according to the comparison of pre- and post-treatment results. In the single-task training group, there were significant differences only in gait parameters with single-task conditions (p < 0.05). The comparisons of the delta values between the groups indicated that the dual-task training group was better compared to the single-task training group in gait speed, cadence, and many cognitive variables (p < 0.05).

conclusionIndividual progressive dual-task training is an effective and useful method that improves gait performance and cognitive skills among older individuals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER AND DATE: NCT03777111, 12/13/2018.
