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

purposeDespite the background of decreased ankle extensor muscle strength with aging, there is still debate regarding whether the rate of force development has any relationship with musculoskeletal and functional characteristics. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between the rate of force development (RFD) in ankle extensors during heel rise (HR) and musculoskeletal characteristics and performance in functional tests in community-dwelling older women. Additionally, determine the correlation by decades of age (60-90 years).

methodsCorrelational cross-sectional design analyzed 61 older women (72.8 ± 6.9 years, 29.4 ± 4.9 kg/m

resultsThe RFD and the STS-power were correlated, and the Fpeak with the musculoskeletal characteristics except with the skeletal muscle mass. RFD was correlated with the TUG, WS, and 5-STS, particularly with early RFD (0-50 ms). Oldest old women (80-90 years) only showed correlations between early RFD and the two walk-related tests (TUG and WS), compared to younger old women.

conclusionRFD during HR correlates with functional tasks involving ankle extensor's speed and power demands. Impaired RFD of ankle extensors would expose older women to more significant risks of functional loss, especially at older ages.
