Effects of qigong and resistance exercise on improving balance and cognitive ability of community-dwelling older adults.
Article 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
Background: To address the challenges posed by an aging society and reduce the incidence of falls and cognitive decline, there is a need for scientifically validated training methods that enhance both balance and cognitive function in older adults. Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of Baduanjin and Resistance Band training on improving balance and cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A total of 93 community-dwelling older adults (mean age: 64.86 ± 3.13 years) were assigned according to the principle of residential proximity into three groups: Baduanjin exercise group ( Results: Both intervention groups significantly improved balance and cognitive function compared with the control group ( Conclusion: Both Baduanjin exercises and Resistance Band training are effective and feasible interventions for improving balance and cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults, with each modality offering distinct benefits across different outcome domains. These findings support the use of both exercises as safe, accessible options for community-based health promotion in aging populations.
