Is locomotion training effective for middle-aged workers?
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesLocomotion training (LT) consisting of single-leg standing and squatting was developed to help prevent locomotive syndrome (LS), and is typically used in older people. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of LT on young and middle-aged people.
methodsThis study was performed at two companies. Workers in company A engaged in LT five times/week for 1 year, whereas workers in company B did not. Baseline and follow-up checkups consisted of questionnaires and physical performance tests, including three kinds of locomotion tests.
resultsIn total, 88 and 101 workers in companies A and B, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. LS stage, stand-up test results, and scores on a geriatric locomotive function scale significantly improved among workers in company A, but only stand-up test results significantly improved among workers in company B. Quadriceps power increased in company A, but did not change in company B. Especially, workers with LS in company A had more significant changes than those without LS and those in company B.
conclusionsThe results of this longitudinal study suggest that LT is useful even for young and middle-aged workers. LT was especially more effective for workers than those without LS.
