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

Objective: To explore the effects of long-term exercise of Tai Chi Chuan, walking, and Jiamusi gymnastics on the health-related factors of physical fitness among middle-aged and elderly women. Methods: Long-term exercise Tai Chi Chuan group, walking group, Jiamusi gymnastics group, and non-exercise group were used to measure their health-related physical fitness, balance, and life satisfaction through long-term exercise Tai Chi Chuan group, walking group, Jiamusi gymnastics group, and non-exercise group matched by age, height, and weight. Results: Compared with control group, Tai Chi Chuan were significant differences in all indicators, except systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), resting heart rate (RHR), and life satisfaction ( Conclusion: Middle-aged and older women are affected differently by different types of exercise. When the three groups-Tai Chi Chuan, walking, and Jiamusi gymnastics-were compared, it was discovered that Tai Chi Chuan had a greater impact on improving balance and trunk flexibility, Jiamusi gymnastics had a greater impact on improving cardiopulmonary fitness, and walking was more effective at strengthening the lower limbs.
