Tandem Gait Test-Retest Reliability Among Healthy Child and Adolescent Athletes.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03170856 (The Effects of a Sub-maximal Exercise Program on Adolescents Who Sustained a Concussion), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
contextThe tandem gait test is a method for assessing dynamic postural control and part of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool, versions 3 and 5. However, its reliability among child and adolescent athletes has yet to be established.
objectiveTo examine the test-retest reliability of the single-task and dual-task tandem gait test among healthy child and adolescent athletes.
designDescriptive laboratory study.
settingSports injury-prevention center. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsUninjured and healthy athletes between the ages of 9 and 18 years. INTERVENTION(S): Tandem gait measures repeated 3 times across the period of approximately 1 month. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Participants completed the tandem gait test under single-task and dual-task (ie, while simultaneously executing a cognitive task) conditions. Our primary outcome measure was completion time during the single-task and dual-task conditions. We also assessed cognitive accuracy and response rate while participants completed the dual-task tandem gait test.
resultsThirty-two child and adolescent athletes completed the study (mean age = 14.3 ± 2.4 years; females = 16). Single-task tandem gait times were similar across the 3 testing sessions (14.4 ± 4.8, 13.5 ± 4.2, and 13.8 ± 4.8 seconds;
conclusionsTandem gait outcome measures demonstrated high test-retest reliability in both the single- and dual-task conditions. The overall reliability was within the acceptable range for clinical practice, but improvements across tests suggested a moderate practice effect. Tandem gait represents a reliable, dynamic, postural-control test that requires minimal space, cost, and time.
