Relation of arterial stiffness with postural control in older people.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeArterial stiffness generates vascular alterations that may cause balance disorders and falls. This study aimed to investigate the possible link between arterial stiffness and postural control under different sensorial conditions in patients over 65 years.
methodsCarotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured in 47 participants aged over 65 years to evaluate their arterial stiffness (high PWV). Twenty-seven participants (mean age = 70.52 ± 4.02 years, 22 females) had a normal PWV (< 10 m s
resultsAfter an age-adjustment, LFS was lower in EO than in EC and DT in both groups (p ≤ 0.001). LFS was higher in participants with high PWV both in eyes open and eyes closed conditions (p < 0.05). LFS increased when PWV increased in EO (p < 0.01) and EC conditions (p < 0.001) but not when a dual task was performed.
conclusionDifficulties in maintaining equilibrium under a dual-task condition are more pronounced in people with increased arterial stiffness. These data suggest that understanding of the influence of the arterial stiffness level on specific balance control parameters could contribute to propose better balance-oriented rehabilitation programs in older adults in an attempt to prevent fall.
