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.
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
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of an enhanced psychoeducational and exercise training intervention (Positive Minds Strong Bodies-Enhanced [PMSB-E]) on depression and anxiety symptoms and physical functioning.
designRandomized trial of 427 participants, assigned to intervention or usual care.
setting51 community-based organizations and 17 clinics in Massachusetts, New York, Puerto Rico, and Maryland, US. Data collected from November 2020 to October 2024, at baseline and months 3, 6, and 12.
participantsAdults aged 60+ or older with mild to severe depression or anxiety symptoms, minor to moderate mobility limitations, and fluency in English, Spanish, Mandarin, or Cantonese.
interventionsTen psychoeducational and 36 exercise sessions over 6 months compared to usual care (one-on-one phase; 1:1 ratio). Half of the intervention participants were offered an additional 6-month group maintenance phase (1:1 ratio). Control participants received up to 4 usual care calls. MEASUREMENTS: Primary outcome was change from baseline to month 12 in depression and anxiety symptoms (Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 [HSCL-25]) and physical functioning (Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB] and Late-Life Functioning and Disability Instrument [LLFDI]). Secondary outcome was change in month 6.
resultsIntervention participants showed improved SPPB scores in month 12 (standardized difference, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.07-0.49) and month 6 (0.34; 95% CI, 0.14-0.55). There were no effects on LLFDI or HSCL-25 scores, nor interaction effects by race and ethnicity. Completing the recommended number of sessions had a larger effect on SPPB scores.
conclusionsPMSB-E replicated previous findings of improving objective physical functioning but not self-reported physical functioning or mental health symptoms. We believe this is due to virtual administration during the pandemic.
