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.

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.

Abstract

Many people aging with mobility disabilities experience barriers engaging in exercise programs and social events in-person and could benefit from virtual programs that make participation more accessible. The Tele Tai Chi clinical trial is assessing the acceptability and effectiveness of an evidence-based in-person Tai Chi program for older adults, Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention (seated version), when adapted to be an online group intervention (via videoconferencing) with moderated social time for individuals aging with mobility disabilities. Specifically, we are examining the intervention efficacy for the target population for increasing physical activity and social connectedness, which are the primary outcome measures. Secondary outcome measures include exercise self-efficacy, falls efficacy, depression, quality of life, and pain. The participant sample (N = 60) includes community-dwelling adults (60-77 years of age) with a self-identified mobility disability (i.e., using a mobility aid or having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs) for at least 10 years. Follow-up assessments occurred at the end of the 8-week intervention and 1 month thereafter. This methods-focused paper highlights our novel, user-centered, technology-mediated approach to adapting an in-person intervention for individuals aging with mobility disabilities, which can be used as a roadmap for researchers and practitioners launching similar trials or programs. ClinicalTrialsgov no: NCT04696887.
