Vibration-induced postural reactions: a scoping review on parameters and populations studied.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 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
Objective: Mechanical vibration is an effective way for externally activating Ia primary endings of the muscle spindles and skin mechanoreceptors. Despite its popularity in proprioception and postural control studies, there is still no review covering the wide variety of vibration parameters or locations used in studies. The main purpose of this scoping review was thus to give an overview of general vibration parameters and to identify, if available, the rationale for justifying methodological choices concerning vibration parameters. Methods: Three databases (Pubmed, CINHAL, and SPORTDiscus) were searched from inception to July 2022. Included articles were to focus on the study of muscle spindles and skin mechanoreceptors vibration in humans and assess postural control. Following inclusion, data regarding demographic information, populations, vibration parameters and rationale were extracted and summarized. Results: One hundred forty-seven articles were included, mostly targeting lower extremities ( Conclusion: This scoping review provided a comprehensive description of the population recruited and parameters used for vibration protocols in current studies with humans. Despite many studies, there remain important gaps of knowledge that needs to be filled, especially for vibration amplitude and duration parameters in various populations.
