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

backgroundPopulation aging is a global phenomenon associated with challenges of physical and cognitive declines, reduced social interaction, and increased risk of mental health issues. Preventive measures to address potential health needs of aging population are essential to promote healthy aging. Physical exercise interventions designed with age-sensitive approach to enhance functional ability and quality of life are essential through community participatory approach. The study aimed evaluation of a multi-component age sensitive home-based physical exercise "Healthy and Active Aging Exercise Protocol (HAAEP)" intervention program on physical health, functional ability, and social interaction among middle-aged to old-aged adults. MATERIALS AND

methodsA randomized control trial was performed applying a 16-week HAAEP program to evaluate functional health (FH) including anthropometric measures and social interaction among 270 community-based adults aged 40-90 years from rural Sangareddy district, Telangana, India.

resultsThe Intervention group (IG) and Control group (CG) exhibited differential progress over time, between the group analysis reported significant improvement in TUG (0.0018), 6MWT (0.0292), IPAQ -PA pattern, (0.0194) IPAQ-Sedentary behavior (0.04), BMI (0.0177), Fat percentage (0.0314), Muscle percentage (0.000), Bone and BMR (0.031). Group-based approach in community-friendly settings showed improvement in social interaction, DSSI (0.0120).

conclusionAge-sensitive HAAEP program on functional health with social wellbeing, have shown significant positive effect among adults of different age groups, and will be an effective holistic strategy for healthy and active aging.
