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

This study aimed to determine the characteristics of accelerations and angular velocities obtained by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a cane between older people with and without physical frailty. Community-dwelling older people walked at a comfortable speed using a cane with a built-in IMU. Physical frailty was assessed using exercise-related items extracted from the Kihon Check List. The efficacy of five machine learning models in distinguishing older people with physical frailty was investigated. This study included 48 older people, of which 24 were frail and 24 were not. Compared with the non-frail participants, the older people with physical frailty had a small root mean square value in the vertical and anteroposterior directions and angular velocity in the anteroposterior direction (
