Adaptation of emotional state and standing balance parameters following repeated exposure to height-induced postural threat.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Height-induced postural threat influences standing balance control. However, it is unknown if minimizing individuals' emotional response to threat moderates this relationship. This study repeatedly exposed individuals to height-induced postural threat to determine if reducing the emotional response to threat influences standing balance control. Sixty-eight young adults completed a series of standing trials at LOW (0.8 m above ground, away from edge) and HIGH (3.2 m above ground, at edge) postural threat conditions. Emotional state was assessed using self-report and electrodermal measures. Standing balance was assessed through analysis of centre of pressure (COP) movement and lower leg electromyographic activity. Individuals' emotional response to threat was attenuated following repeated threat exposure. However, threat-induced changes in standing balance were largely preserved. When initially threatened, individuals leaned backward and demonstrated smaller amplitude and higher frequency of COP adjustments; these balance outcomes did not change following repeated threat exposure. Only high frequency COP oscillations (>1.8 Hz) and ankle muscle co-contraction showed any adaptation; regression analyses showed that these behavioural adaptations were accounted for by a combination of emotional and cognitive state changes. This suggests that some threat-induced standing balance changes are more closely linked with the emotional response to threat than others, and are therefore amendable to intervention.
