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.

Abstract

Purpose: This preliminary study aimed to investigate the effects of exergames in a virtual reality environment to improve functional balance during goal-directed functional tasks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods: Twelve volunteer postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly assigned to virtual reality (VRT, Results: The COP variables of LOS and CT tasks were significantly improved after 6 weeks of CMT and VRT ( Conclusion: The VRT and CMT improved the COP sway parameters during weight-shifting tasks. The VRT was more effective than CMT in increasing the ability to control weight-shifting and dynamic functional tasks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. This approach in training has suitable potential to provide convenient error feedback learning.
