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

introductionThis is a study to assess the effect of selected calisthenics on the quality of sleep and well-being among old-age individuals in the selected old-age home at Sangli, Miraj, Kupwad Corporation area. The objective is to assess the quality of sleep and well-being in the experimental and control groups before the intervention and the level of sleep and well-being in the experimental and control groups after the intervention.  Methodology: The study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. Using a simple random sampling technique, 60 participants were selected. Calisthenics exercises were implemented to improve sleep quality and well-being. On the eighth day after the calisthenics program, a post-test was conducted. The analysis was performed using frequency and percentage distribution and a paired t-test.

resultsPost-intervention, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score and quality of sleep among old-age individuals in the experimental group were 12 (40%) had poor sleep and 18 (60%) had a good quality of sleep among old-age people. The mean was 4.26, S.D. was 1.7207, and in the control group, the mean was 8.23, S.D. was 2.4166, and the t-value was 7.3234. P-value was 0.00001 < 0.05 (at 5% level of significance). The well-being score among old-age individuals in the experimental group after the intervention was that there were three (10%) who had very good well-being, 24 (80%) had good well-being scores, and three (10%) had poor well-being among elderly people. The mean was 129, S.D. was 13.3209, and in the control group, the mean was 110.3, S.D. was 8.065, the t-value was -6.5773, and the p-value was 0.00001 < 0.05 (at a 5% level of significance). This reveals that the effect of calisthenics on the quality of sleep and well-being among old age individuals was effective.

conclusionThe study concluded that planned calisthenics exercises were implemented to enhance sleep quality and well-being. Elderly individuals responded positively to the program, showing improvements in both sleep quality and well-being after participating in the exercises.
