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

backgroundPostural control is critical for body sway control and is subserved by three sources of sensory feedback (ie, vision, proprioception and vestibulation). A method for determining the relative contribution of each sensory feedback source to postural control is the modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance for the balance tracking system (BTrackS). However, this method has not yet been evaluated for test-retest reliability. PURPOSE: To determine the test-retest reliability of the modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance protocol for the BTrackS across multiple time intervals.

methodsThree groups of healthy young adults performed the BTrackS modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance protocol four times separated by either one day, one week or one month. Within each time duration group, and condition, differences in total center of pressure path length were determined from one test session to the next and intra class correlation coefficient categorizations were made.

resultsIn all but one case, no significant difference in performance was seen from one testing session to the next. The one significant difference found was a decrease in total center of pressure path length from day 1 to day 2 in the vestibular condition of the group tested daily. Intra class correlation coefficient results largely indicated fair-good reliability across time durations and test conditions.

conclusionThe present study largely supports use of the BTrackS modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance protocol as a means of probing the sensory contributions to balance performance across multiple time durations.
