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

Objective: This study evaluated the impact of Wuqinxi Qigong, a traditional Chinese fitness practice, on the balance abilities of older women with a history of falls. Methods: Participants in the experimental group ( Results: Within the experimental group, compared to baseline, the movement distance of the center of pressure with open eyes (left and right) decreased by 17.0 and 22.1% at weeks 12 and 24, respectively ( Conclusion: A 24-week Wuqinxi exercise regimen enhances both static and dynamic balance abilities in older women with a history of falls. A longer regimen further improves static balance with eyes open compared to the 12-week mark.
