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
objectiveTo determine whether there is a relationship between physical mobility and lack of social support in elderly people living in high Andean communities in Peru. METHODOLOGY: Observational, analytical, retrospective study using the database of a previous cross-sectional study containing information on 449 people aged 60 years and over, who participated in the ANDES-FRAIL project. The dependent variable was mobility, evaluated using the Short Physical Performance Battery; the independent variable was social support, evaluated using an item from the Edmonton Frail Scale. Sociodemographic parameters, comorbidities, number of drugs commonly used, and scores received from several instruments were used as covariates. These included the Barthel Index to determine functionality in older people and the Yesavage questionnaire to evaluate depression in the elderly. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the categorical variables. An adjusted model was developed using the variables that were statistically significant in the two-factor logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe frequency of limited mobility in the studied population was 58.6% (
conclusionsLack of social support is associated with limited mobility in older people living in high Andean communities in Peru.
