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.

2 · The registry

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 article conducted a bibliometric analysis on research of older adults' health and physical activity (PA) to enrich the academic community's comprehension and research of this field. Methods: A total of 10,778 documents published from 1900 to 2023 were included. We used Citespace to analyze global research trends, identifying core journals, highlighting collaboration networks, and citation bursts within the field of physical activity and older adults' health. Results: The publications rise consistently, with close collaboration found among researchers, institutions, and countries. Developed countries made a dominant contribution. The recent research hotspots include healthy aging, the impact of physical activities on the mental health of older adults, and the utilization of virtual reality to enhance physical activity in old people. Conclusion: The study suggests that promoting physical activity among older adults is crucial for healthy aging. It emphasizes the role of technology in facilitating exercise participation and the importance of research from developing countries to advance global healthy aging strategies.
