Integrated analysis of load-velocity profiles, muscle ultrasound measures, and lifestyle determinants in older adults with and without fall history.

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
Falls in older adults result from declines in muscle quality. This study aimed to examine differences in load-velocity profile (LVP) metrics, muscle ultrasound measures, strength, functional tests, and lifestyle between older adults with and without falls, and to analyze their association with sit-to-stand power. Sixty-two older adults (41 non-fallers, 21 fallers; mean age 68.32 ± 5.07 years) underwent three lab sessions. LVP was determined via functional electromechanical dynamometry during a loaded five times sit-to-stand test. Knee-extension, ankle-dorsiflexion, and handgrip strength were recorded. Functional capacity was assessed using the timed up and go test and the short physical performance battery. Tibialis anterior muscle thickness and echo intensity were measured via ultrasound. Lifestyle and quality of life were evaluated using questionnaires. Group differences were tested using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests; stepwise regression identified predictors of the area under the LVP, representing maximal mechanical power (Aₗᵢₙₑ). Non-fallers showed higher Aₗᵢₙₑ (p < 0.001; ES = 0.61) and L
