1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

People with balance impairments often struggle performing turns or lateral maneuvers, which can increase risk of falls and injuries. Here we asked how people's mediolateral balance is impacted when walking on non-straight winding paths. Twenty-four healthy adults (12F / 12M; 25.8±3.5 yrs) participated. Each walked on each of six paths projected onto a treadmill, comprised of three pseudo-random path oscillation frequency combinations (straight, slowly-winding, quickly-winding), each presented at either wide or narrow width. We quantified stepping errors as the percent of steps taken off each path. We quantified minimum mediolateral Margin of Stability (MoS
