Evaluating the impact of tai chi therapy on stress reduction among older adults.
Article in Bioinformation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 investigates the effectiveness of Tai Chi therapy in reducing stress among older adults in selected community areas of Mehsana District. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was used with 60 participants aged 60-80, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group practiced Tai Chi therapy under supervision for 14 days, while the control group received no intervention. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) before and after the intervention. Results showed a significant reduction in stress in the experimental group, with the mean pre-test score of 27.2 dropping to 10.1 post-intervention. In contrast, the control group showed no significant change. The t-test results confirmed Tai Chi's effectiveness in reducing stress (t = 10.43, p < 0.05) for the experimental group, with no significant association between stress reduction and demographic variables. These findings support Tai Chi as a beneficial intervention for managing stress among older adults.
