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

Introduction: Aging leads cognitive decline, affecting memory, attention, and executive functions. Physical exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, enhances cognitive function and health in older adults. Similarly, aquatic-based exercise improves cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and cognitive performance in acute- and long-term programs. The present study evaluated the effect of 4-week aquatic based exercise program on the cognitive function of older adults. Methods: Sixteen older Mexican adults were assigned into an aquatic-based exercise ( Results: Encoding and recall performance improved significantly following both interventions as recalled on RAVLT scores ( Discussion: Aerobic exercise performed for 4 weeks may improve memory domains, regardless of the type of exercise practiced, while executive functions do not appear to be affected. The data obtained in the current work suggest that short-term interventions which involved aerobic exercise are feasible to improve the memory in older Mexican adults.
