Improving spinal alignment through innovative resistance training with outdoor fitness equipment in middle-aged and older adults: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
The main objective of this study was to analyze the effect of a resistance training program using outdoor fitness equipment (OFE) on sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in middle-aged and older adults. One hundred and twenty-eight middle-aged and older adults were randomly assigned to the training (TG) or control group (CG). The TG trained for 8 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of one hour of resistance circuit training with OFE. Before and after the intervention, the sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in the relaxed standing and sitting positions were analyzed. The results showed that the TG obtained a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in all the curvatures of the sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in the standing position after the intervention, in contrast to the CG, which only showed a significant reduction in pelvic tilt (p = 0.005). Regarding the sitting position, only the TG presented a significant decrease in lumbar lordosis (p < 0.001). In conclusion, resistance training with OFE may be useful in improving sagittal spine disposition in middle-aged and older adults. Given the availability of free OFE in parks, the present research provides elders with an accessible and effective training program to curb the effects of ageing on the sagittal spine disposition.
