The Use of Static Posturography Cut-Off Scores to Identify the Risk of Falling in Older Adults.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundFalling is the most common accident that occurs in daily living and the second leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. The complexity of the risk factors associated with falling makes older people at risk of falling difficult to identify. The aim of the study was to identify the cut-off scores of standing posturography measures that can be used to predict the risk of falling in older adults.
methodsThis observational study involved 267 elderly people aged 65 to 85 years (73.99 SD 7.51) living in south-eastern Poland. The subjects were divided into two groups: a group with a high risk of falling and a group with a low risk of falling, based on their timed up-and-go test. Postural stability was assessed during eyes-open and eyes-closed trials using the two-plate stability platform CQ Stab 2P.
resultsThe best accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were observed for the sway path, anterior-posterior sway path, and medial-lateral sway path with open and closed eyes. The clinical cut-off score to predict the risk of falling was 350.63 for the sway path with open eyes, 272.64 for the anterior-posterior sway path, and 159.63 for the medial-lateral sway path. The clinical cut-off score for sway path with closed eyes was 436.11.
conclusionsStatic posturography screenings in clinical practice may also be useful for detecting typical balance changes in older adults.
