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

backgroundThis randomized controlled trial with repeated measures examined the effects of a 21-week dual-task training (DTT) program on choice reaction time (CRT), postural control, strength and body composition in individuals with intellectual disabilities.

methodFifty-seven participants with mild to moderate intellectual disability were assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group completed 63 training sessions, with evaluations at 12 and 21 weeks, while the control group carried out their regular activities.

resultsA significant reduction in CRT (p < 0.005) and improvements in postural control under dual-task (DT) conditions (p ≤ 0.041) were observed with no benefits for DT cost. Mean and maximum strength increased after 12 and 21 weeks (p ≤ 0.001). Changes in body composition were characterized by an increase in the percentage of muscle mass (p ≤ 0.001) and a reduction in fat mass (p = 0.010).

conclusionsThese findings support the effectiveness of DTT for improving CRT and strength in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
