Effects of 12-weeks of Brisk Walking on Health-related Physical Fitness, Balance, and Life Satisfaction in Overweight Older Chinese Women: A Cluster Randomized Control Trial.
Trial report in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Obesity among the elderly is primarily the result of a lack of exercise. Many people around the world are concerned about how physical activity can improve the life satisfaction and physical health of overweight seniors. As a result, this study aims to investigate how brisk walking impacts the physical fitness, balance, and overall quality of life of overweight senior women in China. This study design based on cluster randomized control trial. 54 older women between the ages of 60 and 69 were randomly assigned to the brisk walking group (n = 27) or the control group (n = 27). The brisk walking group received three times, (35-60) minutes sessions per week for 12 weeks, while the control group kept their daily routine. Data collection at zero week and twelfth week. Results have presented that brisk walking improved (p < 0.05) cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, balance, and life satisfaction after 12-weeks intervention, except for body composition. Only the chair stand test of muscular endurance showed a significant difference between the brisk walking group and the control group after 12 weeks of training. Nevertheless, the effect size between the groups was increased after 12 weeks of training. In conclusion, brisk walking promotes health-related physical fitness, balance, and life satisfaction among overweight older women after 12 weeks intervention, except body composition.
