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
Objective: To explore the effects of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on activities of daily living, muscle strength, balance, and physical function in older adults with sarcopenia, to compare OEP with conventional exercise training, and to provide a basis for clinical rehabilitation programs for older adults with sarcopenia. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 120 older adults clinically diagnosed with sarcopenia were enrolled. The participants were randomly assigned to the OEP intervention group (experimental group) and the conventional exercise intervention group (control group), with 60 in each group. The experimental group underwent 12 weeks of OEP training, three times a week, with each session lasting 45 minutes. The control group underwent conventional exercise training following the same schedule. The Modified Barthel Index was used as the primary outcome measure to assess activities of daily living. Secondary outcome measures included muscle strength, gait stability, dynamic balance, and physical function status, evaluated using grip strength, 6-meter walking speed, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Results: A total of 120 older adults with sarcopenia were included. The mean age of the participants was (80.17 ± 8.48) years. Baseline data before treatment showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Both groups completed the treatment within 12 weeks without experiencing any adverse events. The baseline data for the experimental group were as follows, MBI at (67.00 ± 22.76) points, hand grip strength at (15.29 ± 4.94) kg, gait speed at (0.61 ± 0.26) m/s, TUGT time at (15.05 ± 6.74) s, and SPPB score at (6.17 ± 1.40) points, while the corresponding post-intervention findings were as follows, (78.72 ± 15.83) points, (17.67 ± 5.83) kg, (0.77 ± 0.28) m/s, (13.49 ± 6.16) s, and (9.25 ± 1.71) points, respectively. The experimental group showed improvements in all measures from baseline to post-intervention ( Conclusion: OEP significantly enhances activities of daily living, improves muscle strength, balance, and physical function in older adults, and is more effective than conventional rehabilitation exercise programs, making it suitable for extensive clinical application.
