Can handgrip strength measurements predict postural balance performance in older women?
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06739681 (The Effect of Imagery and Breathing Exercises on Postural Sway and Target Achievement in Olympic Archers), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
objectivesThe link between handgrip strength and postural balance in older adults is not well understood. This study aimed to examine the correlations between postural balance performance and handgrip peak force and rate of force development (RFD) measurements in older women.
methodsTwenty older women (67 ± 5 years) participated in this study. Handgrip contractions were used to assess peak force, peak RFD, and RFD at 0-100 (RFD100) and 0-200 (RFD200) ms. Postural balance was evaluated using a commercially designed balance testing device, which provides a measurement of static stability based on the sway index.
resultsThere were significant correlations between sway index and handgrip peak force (
conclusionThese findings suggest that handgrip strength, and in particular peak RFD, may be an effective parameter at predicting postural balance performance in older women.
