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

Introduction: To explore and develop a backpropagation neural network-based model for predicting and generating exercise prescriptions for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults. Methods: The model is based on data from 68 screened studies. In addition, the model was validated with 64 older adults aged 60-79 years. The root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R Results: The results showed that (1) The mean error ratios for predicting exercise intensity, time and period were 7% ± 12, -5% ± 9% and - 7% ± 14%, respectively, indicating that the estimates were in good agreement with the expected results. (2) Of the 61 subjects who completed the assigned program, cardiorespiratory fitness improved significantly compared with pre-exercise. Improvements ranged from 9.2-10% and 8.9-15.8% for female and male subjects. (3) In addition, 71 and 94% of subjects (43/61) showed cardiorespiratory improvement within plus or minus one standard deviation and plus or minus 1.96 times standard deviation. Discussion: A neural network-based model for exercise prescription for cardiorespiratory fitness improvement in older adults is feasible and effective.
