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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Aging is associated with declines in balance, gait, and cognitive functions, increasing fall risk and diminishing quality of life. Exergame training, which integrates cognitive and motor tasks, has emerged as a promising intervention to address these issues. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of exergame-based training and conventional dual-task training on physical function in older adults. Methods: Thirty community-dwelling older adults aged 60-75 years were randomly assigned to an exergame group ( Results: Both groups showed significant improvements across all measures ( Conclusion: A 12-week exergame program yielded superior improvements in dynamic balance and gait speed compared with dual-task training, supporting its use as an effective strategy for enhancing mobility and preventing falls in older adults.
