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

Physical fitness is defined as the ability to perform daily activities efficiently and without excessive fatigue, involving anthropometric variables and physical capacities. This study evaluates the effects of an adapted physical exercise program in older adults with and without severe cognitive impairment (SCI), aiming to compare its effects on blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, and physical fitness. The study included 78 older adults (24 with SCI) who participated in an individualized exercise program for one year, attending at least twice a week. Variables such as body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF), handgrip strength (HGS), aerobic endurance (6MiWa), balance, coordination, and agility were assessed. The results show significant improvements (
