Stand if you can- A parallel, superiority cluster randomized controlled trial to improve gait speed for long term care residents.
Article in JAR life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03796039 (Stand if You Can- A Randomized Control Trial), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the effects of a standing intervention on gait speed for older adults living in long term care (LTC) residences. Design: A parallel superiority cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting and participants: LTC residences. A total of 95 LTC residents (n = 47 control; n = 48 intervention) participated in the study. Methods: LTC residences and therefore the residents from the homes were randomized to either the intervention group (standing up to 100 minutes/week) for 22 weeks or the control group (socializing with staff with no encouragement to stand for up to 100 minutes/week) for 22 weeks. The primary outcome is gait speed measured by the 10-meter walking speed test. Results: A total of 95 participants (n= 47 in the control group and n=48 in the intervention group) age 86 ± 8 years completed the trial, averaging 41.9 ± 30.3 min of standing per week in the intervention group and 48.4 ± 22.8 min of time matched activity in the control group. There was no significant difference between groups in changes in gait speed (β=-0.034, 95 % C.I. (-0.097 0.028)). Conclusions and implications: This 22-week standing intervention did not improve gait speed in older adults living in LTC residences.Trial registration: clinicaltrials.gov - NCT03796039.
