Age-related changes in hand function - it's not just about muscle strength.
Review in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The hand is a remarkable organ that is essential for daily living, functional independence, and quality of life. Age-related declines in sensorimotor function, however, lead to impaired hand dexterity, fine force control, and coordinated movement that are independent of comorbid conditions such as arthritis or peripheral neuropathies. Despite a large body of research illustrating how these changes impact daily activities, routine clinical assessment of mobility in older adults has primarily focused on postural control or the ability to generate maximum grip strength. This mini-review provides an overview of functional hand declines associated with aging including the importance of low force control and somatosensory feedback. In addition, the benefits of targeted training programs to improve hand sensorimotor function and the impact of factors such as sex differences, physical inactivity, and occupation on hand use are described. The goal of this review is to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining or improving hand function in our increasingly aging segment of society - it's not just about muscle strength.
