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

Introduction: Despite the sit-to-stand transition being an acute period of increased fall risk among older adults, it is currently unclear how lower-limb joint range-of-motion (ROM) during this task relates to fall risk. Methods: We examined 45 community-dwelling older adults (female = 32 (71.1%), age = 76.5±6.1years, BMI = 26.4±4.0kg/m Results: High fall risk participants had significantly lower muscular power (2.8±0.6W/kg, p = 0.004, ε Conclusions: Lower-limb ROM during the sit-to-stand transition may not be a strong indicator of fall risk on its own but may provide clinically relevant insight when paired with a validated fall risk assessment.
