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
To review the effects of Otago exercise program (performed individually or in group) on several physical and psychosocial outcomes for community-dwelling and institutionalized older adults. Fourteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Three electronic databases and reference lists of identified studies were searched. Eligibility criteria included clinical trials of the Otago exercise program conducted among older adults. Two studies were conducted in institutions, 2 in groups. None of the studies reviewed reported the post-intervention result of the Otago exercise program on depression or any other psychological construct. Otago exercise program was effective in reducing falls, improving balance, strength, mobility, and health-related quality of life within the community and in institutions. Available evidence suggests group performance may be better than individual programs. The Otago exercise program is an important and effective exercise strategy which can be administered in groups or individualized to both community-dwelling and institution-resident older adults. Future reviews, especially, systematic reviews with meta-analysis should be performed.
