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

purposeThis study investigated whether spatio-temporal gait parameters are related to adaptations in fall predictors following mixed power training (MPT) in older men.

methodsTwenty-one inactive community-dwelling older men (age: 67 ± 6 years; BMI: 25 ± 3 kg/m

resultsMuscle strength (p = 0.04) and power (p = 0.003) Timed Up and Go (p = 0.035), stair test (p = 0.041), unipodal balance (p = 0.031), and some gait parameters [stride speed, stride duration and cadence] (p < 0.05) improved significantly following the MPT. Only absolute muscle strength improvement was correlated with certain gait parameters (walk ratio, cadence, stride duration, and speed: p < 0.05) between responders & non-responders.

conclusionsThis study confirms that 12 weeks of MPT improves muscle function, functional capacity and gait parameters. However, the adaptation of gait parameters appears almost unrelated to the clinical improvement of fall/mobility predictors in older men.
