Postural performance and plantar cutaneous vibration perception in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05679934 (The Effects of Home-Based Exercise Program And Telerehabilitation on Gait Characteristics, Balance, and Performance in Patients With Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Applied With Lumbar Puncture), 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate whether impaired plantar cutaneous vibration perception contributes to postural disturbance in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).
methodsThree different groups were tested: iNPH-patients (iNPH), iNPH-patients after surgical shunt therapy (iNPH shunt), and healthy subjects (HS). Postural performance was quantified during quiescent stance on a pressure distribution platform. Vibration perception threshold (VPT) was measured using a modified vibration exciter to apply stimuli to the plantar foot.
resultsRegarding postural performance, iNPH showed significantly higher values for all investigated center of pressure (COP)-parameters compared to HS, which suggests impaired postural control. Shunted patients presented a tendency towards better postural control in contrast to non-shunted patients. VPTs did not differ significantly between all investigated groups, which suggests comparable plantar cutaneous vibration perception.
conclusionPatients with iNPH suffer from poor postural stability, whereas shunting tends to affect postural performance positively. Plantar cutaneous vibration perception seems to be comparable between all investigated study groups. Consequently, postural disturbance in iNPH cannot clearly be ascribed to defective plantar cutaneous input.
