Dynamic stability during split-belt walking and the relationship with step length symmetry.
Article in Gait & posture, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
introductionWalking instability is a contributor to falls and other undesired changes in walking performance. We investigated the effect of split-belt treadmill based perturbations on dynamic stability. Furthermore, we examined the relationships for dynamic stability and symmetry during unperturbed and perturbed walking.
methodTwenty healthy young adults completed unperturbed and perturbed walking conditions on a split-belt treadmill. The continuous perturbation involved moving the parallel belts at unequal speeds (1.5 m/s: 0.5 m/s). Margins of stability (MoS) and step length symmetry (SYM) were assessed.
resultsStability and symmetry measures each decreased at the onset of the split walking perturbation. Only anterior-posterior (AP) MoS and SYM exhibited adaptive changes. Associations were found primarily for AP MoS with immediate changes in SYM at the onset of split walking, and over the duration of the split walking condition. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest walking strategies were adapted to maintain dynamic stability when faced with a continuous perturbation. Additionally, dynamic stability was associated with symmetry during perturbed walking.
