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.

Abstract

purposeTo characterise multidomain changes observed over 12 weeks among healthy older adults participating in a supervised resistance-based exercise programme.

backgroundResistance-based exercise improves physical performance in older adults, yet clinical evaluation often relies on isolated outcome measures and overlooks multidimensional changes. We investigated multidomain changes following a 12‑week supervised exercise training programme in healthy older adults using a reduced, clinically interpretable four‑domain framework and a Multidomain Quality Outcome Index (MQO

methodsA total of 126 healthy older adults (age: 67.7  ±  5.3 years; 62.7% women) completed a 12-week training programme. A comprehensive battery of assessments was categorised in four clinically interpretable domains: 'body composition', 'muscle capacity', 'functional performance', and 'pain & HRQoL'. Changes were expressed as z‑standardised factor scores and standardised mean differences (SMD). Multidomain responders were classified based on their MQO

resultsValues in the 'functional performance' domain improved substantially (SMD  =  .67 ± .57), leading to overall improvement (MQO

conclusionsEarly-phase change in these four domains appears asynchronous. The use of a multidomain evaluation framework reveals this heterogeneity and may facilitate the early identification of diverging response trajectories. Baseline characteristics showed stronger associations with baseline domain status than with short-term changes. PROMs showed limited mean short-term change but contributed to identifying divergent outcome trajectories. As this was a single-arm study without a control group, the observed changes cannot be attributed to the intervention alone. Further studies are needed to assess external validity and longer-term stability. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05053282 (22.09.2021).
