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: Various training regimes in older adults yield differing effects on subjective well-being and physical performance, influenced by age, gender, and individual health status, with noted discrepancies between perceived well-being and actual performance. Methods: This study investigated age- and gender-specific effects of a 24-week multidimensional training program-including popular sports-on 81 sporting inactive, healthy older adults (60-74 years; f = 53, m = 28). Cardiovascular fitness was assessed via Physical Working Capacity 130 and health-related quality of life via ShortForm 36. Results: Women and participants aged 65-69 years showed the greatest subjective health gains and improvements in cardiovascular fitness ( Discussion: The program thus offers an effective, non-traditional option to enhance physical fitness and health perception in older adults.
