Postural sway, falls, and self-reported neuropathy in aging female cancer survivors.
Trial report in Gait & posture, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFalls are a major public health concern in older adults, and the proportion of older adults that has been diagnosed with cancer is growing. Yet, while falls, peripheral neuropathy, and postural instability are more common in aging cancer survivors, it is unclear how these factors interact. RESEARCH QUESTION: Our objective was to examine how components of sway related to self-reported neuropathy and falls.
methodsPostural sway during static stance was recorded with an inertial sensor (APDM Opal), placed on the lumbar spine region in 434 older female cancer survivors (mean age 63) and 49 healthy older female control subjects (mean age 63). Measures of sway were resolved into principal components that were compared between women with and women without self-reported falls in the previous 6 months and between those with and without self-reported symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
resultsCancer survivors had worse sway than healthy control subjects in components related to sway magnitude and mediolateral frequency of sway, but no difference in the component related to resultant / AP sway jerk and frequency. Cancer survivors who reported neuropathy were more likely to have higher resultant / AP sway frequencies and jerk than asymptomatic survivors, while survivors who reported a fall were more likely to have lower frequencies of mediolateral sway than non-fallers. Falls were more strongly associated with mediolateral sway in survivors with more severe neuropathy; whereas falls were more strongly associated with resultant / AP sway frequency in survivors with less severe neuropathy SIGNIFICANCE: Postural stability, falls, and neuropathy have complex interactions that can vary across components of postural sway. While the frequency of mediolateral sway was associated with falls across our entire cohort, neuropathy influenced the associations between specific characteristics of sway and falls, which may have implications for fall prevention interventions.
