Locomotive Syndrome and Related Factors in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study From Türkiye.
Review in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). 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
objectiveTo determine the presence of locomotive syndrome (LS) in individuals aged 65 years and older in Türkiye and its relationship with sociodemographic characteristics, health-related factors, falls, and quality of life. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: This cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022 in a private hospital in Istanbul city with 125 individuals aged 65 years and older. Data were collected through a patient information form, the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25), the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I), and the Healthy Days Core Module-4 (HRQOL-4). Nonparametric statistical analyses were applied.
resultsThere was a statistically significant positive relationship between GLFS-25, FES-I, and HRQOL-4 scores. A statistically significant and strong positive correlation was found between GLFS-25 and FES-I scores (r
conclusionsThe rate of locomotive syndrome was high in individuals aged 65 years and older. There was a relationship between the presence of locomotive syndrome, quality of life, and fall efficacy. Knowing the prevalence of locomotive syndrome and implementing preventive measures is crucial for supporting quality of life in older adults. Supporting independence and protecting quality of life are key responsibilities of nurses, who must understand these factors in older adults.
