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
Background: Previous work suggests that proprioceptive information from ankle and hip are crucial in maintaining balance during upright standing; however, the contribution of these proprioceptive information during stepping balance recovery in not clear. The goal of the current study was to assess the role of ankle and hip proprioceptive information on balance recovery performance by manipulating type 1a afferent in muscle spindles using vibratory stimulation. Methods: Twenty healthy young participants were recruited (age = 22.2 ± 2.7 years) and were randomly assigned to balance recovery sessions with either ankle or hip stimulation. Trip-like perturbations were imposed using a modified treadmill setup with a protecting harness. Vibratory stimulation was imposed bilaterally on ankle and hip muscles to expose participants to three condition of no-vibration, 40Hz vibration, and 80Hz vibration. Kinematics of the trunk and lower-extremities were measured using wearable sensors to characterize balance recovery performance. Outcomes were response time, recovery step length, trunk angle during toe-off and heel-strike of recovery stepping, and required time for full recovery. Findings: Ankle vibratory stimulation elicited main effects on reaction time and recovery step length ( Interpretation: Current findings provided evidence that vibratory stimulation can affect the balance recovery performance, causing a delayed recovery initiation and an impaired balance refinement after the recovery stepping when applied to ankle and hip muscles, respectively.
