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

Older adults with a recent fall history tend to have larger variability in stepping than those without a fall history. In this study, we examined whether variability in step timing-defined as the coefficient of variation (CV) of step timings during seated stepping exercises-can identify individuals at higher risk of falling. The CV was measured at baseline (initial assessment), and fall occurrences were tracked over one year among 58 older adults in 11 senior housing facilities participating in online exercise programs. Participants who experienced falls exhibited marginally higher CV values at baseline than those who did not fall, and those who fell specifically while walking showed significantly higher CVs compared to non-fallers (
