The effect of bed rest on balance control in healthy adults: A systematic scoping review.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of bed rest on balance control and the mechanisms responsible for these changes. Searches were conducted in six databases. Studies had to be conducted on healthy adults who were subjected to bed rest (≥5 days), with balance control measures obtained before and after bed rest in order to be included. Risk of bias was assessed using the NIH Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. After screening 9,785 articles, 18 were included for qualitative synthesis. Fifteen studies found decrements in at least one balance control measure following bed rest, either compared to baseline or controls, with eight studies observing impairments in >50% of their balance control measures. Of the 14 studies that included an intervention, four (mechanical stimuli, lower-body negative pressure, and training targeting strength, balance and/or aerobic capacity) successfully offset the majority of balance control deficits and targeted the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. The findings of this review support bed rest negatively affecting balance control in healthy individuals. In clinical populations, these deficits may be further accentuated due to various comorbidities that impact balance control systems. PROSPERO Registration: CRD42018098887.
