Reactive agility and motor-cognitive assessments for distinguishing community-dwelling older adults with and without a history of falls: a dual-centre cross-sectional study.

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
Although motor and cognitive functions are closely interconnected in daily life, they are typically assessed separately in fall assessments. This dual-center cross-sectional, observational study examined the discriminative performance of agility and motor-cognitive assessments to distinguish between community-dwelling older adults with and without a history of falls, compared with established motor and cognitive tests. A total of 231 participants (103 with a history of falls; age 71.9 ± 7.5 years) completed a SKILLCOURT test battery, including the Random Star Run (unplanned, reactive changes of direction; agility) and motor-cognitive stepping tasks involving reactive responses while standing to simple and choice reaction, task-switching, 2-back, and Stroop word-color stimuli. Motor tests included the Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG), Sit-to-Stand, and walking speed, each performed under both single- and dual-task conditions. Seated PC-based cognitive tests assessed reaction speed and executive functions corresponding to the SKILLCOURT tasks. Age- and study location-adjusted general linear models identified significant group effects after Holm adjustment for the Random Star Run (η
