Effect of physical activity interventions on quality of life in older adults: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionQuality of life (QoL) has been acknowledged as a fundamental concept in the field of health and is favorably improved by physical activity (PA). This systematic review aims to assess the benefits and harms of different types of PA to improve health-related QoL in both community-dwelling and diseased older adults to provide a recommendation for the minimum amount of PA needed to obtain measurable QoL benefits. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will search MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINHAL, Epistemonikos, Web of Science and gray literature. Randomized controlled trials enrolling healthy or diseased older adults aged > 65 years, providing any kind of physical activity intervention and having quality of life as an outcome will be included. There will be no language restriction. Two independent reviewers will screen the papers, and a third reviewer will resolve the conflicts. The quality of the included studies will be assessed through the Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. Finally, data will be extracted to create proper meta-analyses of comparisons between the different kinds of physical activity interventions or to control groups. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This review does not require approval from the Ethics Committee. The results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at international conferences; moreover, the findings will be shared on social media using an accessible language.
