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

This study explores current applications of exergaming in healthcare, with a focus on how the Otago Exercise Program-a structured, evidence-based program designed to improve strength and balance in older adults-integrated into the FallSensing exergames, contributes to improving older adults' functioning. It also aims to generate evidence to support the optimization of sensor-based technologies for more personalized and adaptable exercise interventions. Community-dwelling older adults (≥60 years) were recruited from facilities in Coimbra, Portugal, and allocated into an exergames group (IG;
