A Systematic Review of the Effects of Therapeutic Exercise With Psychological Interventions on Disability and Personal Outcomes in Older Adults.
Review in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 evaluate the effects of therapeutic exercise and psychological interventions on disability and personal outcomes in older adults. Data Sources: Articles published from January 2013 to February 2025 are available in PubMed, Embase, ProQuest Health & Medical and Psychology, PsycINFO, and PsycArticles. Study Selection: Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) intervention included therapeutic exercise combined or integrated with a psychological intervention; (2) randomized controlled trial; (3) sample mean age ≥60 years; (4) primary or secondary outcome(s) of disability. Two authors independently screened trials (n=7391) for inclusion; a third author verified results and resolved discrepancies. Data Extraction: Data were extracted by a primary reviewer and verified by a second reviewer. The risk of bias assessment was performed using the risk of bias in randomized controlled trials. Data Synthesis: Thirty-eight trials (n=18,550 participants) were included. Therapeutic exercise included: exercise programs (34%), physical activity counseling and monitoring (37%), rehabilitation (18%), or other (eg, Tai Chi; 13%). Psychological interventions were primarily motivational interviewing (53%) or cognitive-behavioral therapy/strategies (39%). Significant improvement in body functions and structures (n=14, 37%), activity (n=6, 16%), participation (n=20, 53%), and personal factors (n=11, 29%) was observed. Conclusions: Therapeutic exercise with psychological interventions have a positive effect on disability and personal outcomes, especially in participation. Heterogeneity in the study design, intervention, and population challenged data synthesis. Nonetheless, the current review identified gaps within the literature and directions for future research. Testing the additive effect of these interventions compared to active comparators is a priority for future investigations.
