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
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the changes in the balance ability of community-residing elderly females between 2017 and 2020. [Participants and Methods] The participants included 202 females with ≥65 years of age (average age, 78.3 ± 5.88 years), living independently in the community and attending the salon. The balance ability was measured through a one-legged standing test by keeping the participants' eyes open. The measurement duration was a maximum of 120 s while standing still. Each participant underwent the measurement twice, and the best attempt was recorded. The survey period was from 2017 to 2020, and the measurements were conducted once a year. [Results] The 2020 records showed a statistically significant difference compared to those of the other 3 years. The degree of decline was higher in the old-old than that in the young-old. [Conclusion] The balance ability of the elderly females was found to reduce significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, supporting physical activities in the old-old females is necessary to improve their balance ability.
