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

Age-related hyperkyphosis is associated with adverse health outcomes, such as falls, fractures, and mortality. However, few studies investigated the relationship between the severity of hyperkyphosis and physical endurance in older adults. This study examined whether a degree of hyperkyphosis curvature was independently associated with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance. We analyzed the baseline data of 112 older adults aged 60-92 enrolled in the Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) Kyphosis trial. The majority of the sample had at least a college degree and were white. On average, participants walked 503.9 (SD 82.3) meters in 6 minutes. Multivariate regression results showed that the degree of hyperkyphosis curvature was not independently associated with the 6MWT distance, but taller height, lighter weight, and less prescription medication were significant predictors of better performance on the 6MWT distance. Validation of the study findings in a large, diverse older adult population is warranted.
