Investigation of the effects of cognitive tasks on balance performance in young adults.
Article in American journal of otolaryngology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionIndividuals routinely perform cognitive tasks concurrent to balance functions. The attention is one of the most important cognitive functions and it has effects on vestibular system. This study aims to investigate the connection between balance and cognitive tasks under different conditions.
methodsVisual attention tasks (VAT) and auditory attention tasks (AAT) were given to 30 healthy adults (40.42 ± 11.22 years) during functional balance tasks. Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and Adaptation Test (ADT) were used for the evaluation of postural stability and adaptation. The sounds were presented from the computer speakers in AATs, and VATs were presented in the virtual reality (VR) environment.
resultsThe first SOT condition had a statistically significant difference between all dual VAT (DT-VAT) and single task (ST) (p < 0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference between ST and DT-AAT (p = 1.00). In the fourth SOT condition, there was a statistically significant difference between all DT-VATs versus ST and DT-VA (p < 0.001); there was no statistically significant difference between ST and DT-AA scores (p = 0.80). While there was a significant difference between DT-VA and ST and DT-AA (p < 0.001), no statistically significant difference was observed between ST and DT-AA in the ADT (p = 0.321).
conclusionsBalance performance gets worse with VAT in a VR environment. VR technology can be used to effectively evaluate balance and cognitive performance. The use of experimental environments in standard postural evaluations increases the efficiency of the postural stability tests.
