1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) exhibit impaired balance during different sensory environments and poor cerebellar peduncle microstructure. We aimed to examine associations between microstructures of the superior, middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles (CP) with visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive-based balance in PwMS. Twenty-seven PwMS and twenty-nine healthy controls (HC) underwent MRI and balance assessments. We assessed CP microstructure with radial diffusivity (RD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) and balance with center of pressure-derived measures of path length and root mean square of sway during proprioceptive (C2), visual (C3), and vestibular (C4) balance conditions of the modified clinical test of sensory integration on balance (mCTSIB). PwMS exhibited significantly lower FA (p < 0.001) and greater RD (p < 0.001) across all CP and greater path length (p < 0.05) in the mCTSIB compared with HC. In PwMS, significant associations were detected between inferior CP white matter microstructure and proprioceptive-based balance control (rho = -0.43, p < 0.05) and middle CP white matter microstructure and visual-based balance control (rho = 0.39, p < 0.05). PwMS may rely more on cerebellar-regulated proprioceptive- and visual-based balance control than HC.
