The effects of short-term home-based exercise training via video call in older adults with physically inactive and sedentary life.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectivesInvestigating the physical and mental effects of short-term exercise program and motivation with video communication methods such as telephone and internet applications on physically inactive and sedentary older adult's daily lives.
methodsThirty participants were reached by video calling method. Participants were evaluated twice before and after the program. A 6-min walk test (6MWT), Barthel index for activities of daily living, Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment (Tinetti POMA) and Geriatric depression scale (GDS) were applied. The standard daily exercise program was applied to all participants for 1 week. Exercise programs were created as endurance, strengthening, stretching and balance exercises.
resultsAll participants (16 female and 14 male) completed the program. In terms of 6MWT, Tinetti POMA and GDS, a statistically significant improvement was found after the program compared to the pre-program (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively).
conclusionsIt is possible and effective to organize exercise programs and to follow these with distance video calling applications in physically inactive and sedentary older adults.
