The Effect of Perturbation-Based Balance Training vs Step Training on Reaction Time in Older Persons: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
As the global population ages, understanding the impact of aging on cognitive abilities becomes increasingly crucial. One such cognitive function that exhibits significant changes with advancing age is reaction time (RT). This article presents a comprehensive analysis of RT in older adults, examining its underlying mechanisms, age-related changes, and implications for cognitive functioning. Through a review of existing literature, this study explores various factors influencing RT in older individuals, including sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. It highlights how age-related changes in the central nervous system, such as declines in processing speed and neural efficiency, play a significant role in prolonging RTs. Additionally, the role of cumulative life experiences and environmental factors in shaping reaction time in older adults is discussed.
