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

[Purpose] The quality of physical functions was evaluated prospectively in older females over a 5 year period to identify the physical functions that are more likely to consistently decline or be maintained in females aged 65‒74 years and more than 75 years. [Participants and Methods] Physical functions, including grip strength, walking speed, and balance, were measured for older females aged 65-74 years group and more than 75 years group from 2015 to 2019. T-scores of the physical performances were calculated to analyze the changes in the physical functions over 5 years. [Results] Based on the T-scores, physical functions in terms of the 5-m walking speed, timed up-and-go test, and functional reach test, improved from 2015 to 2019 in the 65-74 group, whereas all physical functions consistently deteriorated in the older than 75 group. [Conclusion] There was no significant decline of the physical functions in both groups; however, the T-score variations for physical functions during the 5 year observation period differed in each group.
