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

backgroundWhole-body vibration (WBV) training may be an effective method for enhancing the physical and executive functions of older adults. However, its feasibility in community-dwelling aged 80 years and older with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains uncertain.

methodsThis is a single-group clinical trial with a pre-and post-intervention design to evaluate the feasibility of WBV training. The protocol consisted of five sets of 1-min isometric squats performed on a vertical vibration platform. The primary outcome was feasibility, while secondary outcomes included executive and physical function.

resultsEighteen older adults (mean age: 84 ± 3 years) participated in the study. Only one participant was unable to complete the protocol, and three experienced dizziness during the familiarization phase. No other adverse events were reported, and the entire intervention lasted approximately 10 min, supporting its safety and feasibility. Preliminary results findings indicated improvements in executive and physical performance, as demonstrated by the motor dual-task test (p = 0.05) and the Trail Making Test Part A (p = 0.004).

conclusionCommunity-dwelling older adults aged 80 years and older with probable MCI can safely engage in WBV training, provided there are no contraindications to vibratory stimulation.
