Comparative Study of Anticipatory Postural Adjustments between Normal and Cervical Myelopathy Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament have been considered to be prone to falls due to lower extremity dysfunction and gait instability. Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are unconscious muscular activities to counterbalance perturbation. To date, there are no reports on APAs in cervical myelopathy patients, and quantification of postural control remains difficult. Thirty participants were enrolled, of which 15 were cervical myelopathy patients and 15 were normal age- and sex-matched controls. A three-dimensional motion capture system with force plates was used, and the APA phase was defined as the time between start of movement at the center of pressure and heel-off of the step leg. The APA phase (0.47 vs. 0.39 s,
