Investigation of the effectiveness Of 'Nordic Walking' training on geriatric individuals: a randomized comparative study.
Trial report in European geriatric medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07158931 (Investigation of Effectiveness of 'Nordic Walking' Training On Geriatric Individuals), which is not on this 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

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the effects of Nordic Walking training on muscle strength and endurance, balance, falls and fear of movement, aerobic capacity and quality of life in older individuals.
methodsA total of 32 individuals aged 65-80 years were randomly assigned to either the Nordic Walking (NW) group or the Traditional Walking (GY) group. Outcomes included the 30-s sit-to-stand test (STS), 30-s biceps curl test (BCT), timed up and go test (TUG), 6-min walk test (6-MWT), Tinetti falls efficacy scale (TFES), Tampa kinesiophobia scale (TKS), and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD). All outcomes were assessed at baseline and after a 12-week supervised training program (3 sessions/week).
resultsOf the 32 participants enrolled, 28 completed the study (NW-n = 14; TW-n = 14). Both groups improved across outcomes, with greater improvements in the NW group for STS (MD: 1.36; 95%CI 0.48-2.24), BCT (left-MD: 2.33; 95%CI 1.37-3.28; right-MD: 2.13; 95%CI 1.17-3.09), 6-MWT (MD: 51.13 m; 95%CI 23.78-78.47), TFES (MD: - 3.49; 95%CI - 5.35 to - 1.65), TKS (MD: - 8.08; 95%CI - 12.32 to - 3.84), and WHOQOL-OLD (MD: 3.46; 95%CI 0.84-6.09). No significant between-group difference was observed for TUG.
conclusionNW training was superior to traditional walking in improving parameters such as, upper and lower extremity muscle strength and performance, aerobic capacity, fall efficacy, fear of moving, and quality of life in older individuals. NW training is an effective method for geriatric rehabilitation programs. CLINICAL
