Effects of mind-body health qigong exercise on depression severity and cognitive function in older adults at a senior care center: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objective: This study was conducted to assess the impacts of mind-body Health Qigong exercise performed regularly over a period of 11 weeks upon depression severity and cognitive function among older people. Methods: A 2 × 2 two-factor structural design was incorporated into this research to carry out a randomized controlled trial. 35 participants underwent random allocation to the intervention arm ( Results: Compared with baseline, the total scores of C-MMSE in the experimental group were significantly higher at post-intervention ( Conclusion: The results indicated that engaging in mind-body Health Qigong Taiji Stick exercise for 11 weeks yielded statistically significant improvements in cognitive subdomains, including orientation and immediate memory, as well as a statistically significant reduction in depression severity among older adults. The clinical significance of these beneficial effects remains uncertain and should be confirmed by future studies with larger sample sizes. Clinical trial registration: This study was approved for registration by the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on April 24, 2024 (ChiCTR2400083424).
