Responsiveness of Daily Life Gait Quality Characteristics over One Year in Older Adults Who Experienced a Fall or Engaged in Balance Exercise.

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
Gait quality characteristics obtained from daily-life accelerometry are clinically relevant for fall risk in older adults but it is unknown whether these characteristics are responsive to changes in gait quality. We aimed to test whether accelerometry-based daily-life gait quality characteristics are reliable and responsive to changes over one year in older adults who experienced a fall or an exercise intervention. One-week trunk acceleration data were collected from 522 participants (65-97 years), at baseline and after one year. We calculated median values of walking speed, regularity (sample entropy), stability (logarithmic rate of divergence per stride), and a gait quality composite score, across all 10-s gait epochs derived from one-week gait episodes. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and limits of agreement (LOA) were determined for 198 participants who did not fall nor participated in an exercise intervention during follow-up. For responsiveness to change, we determined the number of participants who fell (
