The effect of advanced age and stool modification on reaching distance in sitting.

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
[Purpose] Reaching is an important functional ability. We investigated the effect of advanced age and stool modification on sitting reach distance. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-four participants (twelve older adults 70 ± 4 years and twelve young adults 29 ± 4 years) reached forward and laterally while sitting on an adjustable stool with 0°, 10° forward, 10° backward, 10° right or 10° left inclination of the seat, with and without footrest and front, back or side leg support. [Results] The outcome of this exploratory study revealed that young adults reached farther than older adults across all the directions of reach and seat conditions. While the inclined seat was utilized, both young and older adults reached farthest in the forward direction. Additional leg supports allowed to reach further; however, older adults were not able to reach in the forward direction as far as young adults. When reaching in the lateral direction, leg support had minimal effect on the reach distance. [Conclusion] Age affects the sitting functional reach ability. Future research should focus on investigating the efficiency of interventions to enhance performance of functional tasks in sitting older adults.
