Balance Assessment in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Comparison of the Sensory Organization and Limits of Stability Tests.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Balance problems are common after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms of dizziness, unsteadiness, or imbalance have been most frequently attributed to sensory organization problems involving the use of visual, proprioceptive, and/or vestibular information for postural control. These problems can be assessed with the Sensory Organization Test (SOT). However, as head trauma can affect any brain region, areas responsible for voluntary control of movements involved in dynamic balance tasks, such as the motor cortex and its projections, could also be compromised, which would likely affect one's limits of stability. The Limits of Stability (LOS) balance test has received little attention in TBI. In the present study, we compared the prevalence of SOT versus LOS abnormalities in a cohort of 48 patients, the majority classified as having mild or moderate chronic TBI. Compared with a normative database provided by the balance testing manufacturer, a larger portion of our cohort presented abnormalities in the LOS test. Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) results indicated mild disability, with the five activities most frequently endorsed as problematic being: looking up, performing quick head movements, performing ambitious such as sports or dancing activities, feeling frustrated, and performing strenuous house/yard work. Although regression analysis revealed that both tests significantly predicted subjective scores on the DHI, more LOS than SOT testing variables were important predictors of DHI results indicating disability. These results suggest that the LOS test is an informative tool that should be included in any objective balance evaluations that screen TBI patients with balance complaints.
