Vestibular perceptual learning improves self-motion perception, posture, and gait in older adults.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vestibular motion perception declines with age, increasing the risk of falling substantially. We performed a two-week perceptual learning intervention using a self-motion direction discrimination task (2800 training trials per person) on a 6 degrees of freedom motion platform in healthy older adults (n = 40, aged 70-88 yr). Linear inter-aural and angular roll tilt vestibular thresholds improved with training (95% credible interval for pre/post difference), suggesting altered sensitivity post-training. Moreover, improved perceptual abilities transfer to actual posture (reduced sway) and gait parameters. Passive self-motion discrimination training provides a new and promising way to counteract age-related sensory decline. It can reduce the risk of falling, and thereby maintain individual autonomy and quality of life.
