Reporter brief

What happened
Trial registry update: COMPLETED. No results reported in the supplied registry record.
Why it matters
Assessment pending; this report does not establish a change in evidence.
What it does NOT prove
- The abstract does not report any numerical results or statistical significance, so it is unknown whether Tai Chi actually improved any of the measured outcomes
- No sample size is provided, making it impossible to assess statistical power or generalizability
- The mechanism by which Tai Chi might benefit sarcopenia is not explained, and comparison to only standard gymnastics does not establish superiority over other interventions
