Postural Stability of Elderly People With Cognitive Impairments.
Article in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03333837 (IMOVE), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
introductionFalls are one of the major problems among the elderly population. It has been established that people with dementia fall down more often. It is believed that this is a consequence of risky decision making by people with dementia resulting from cognitive deterioration. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between cognitive status and postural stability while standing.
methodsA total of 47 people, aged 71.6 years on average (±7.2), were divided based on results of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) into a dementia group (MMSE ≤ 23) and a control group (MMSE > 23). Postural stability was tested using a force plate (with eyes open, with eyes closed, and with visual biofeedback). The parameters of movement of the center of pressure were analyzed.
resultsBoth in test with eyes open and eyes closed, significant difference was shown between the dementia group and the control groups. In visual feedback test, the dementia group showed 32% poorer performance than the controls.
conclusionThe falls experienced in dementia group may be caused by a disturbed balance control process of the central nervous system.
