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
backgroundAlthough chronic low back pain (LBP) is a complex condition often associated with altered motor control and compensatory postural adjustments, existing literature provides inconsistent reports on the underlying control mechanisms for maintaining balance. PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare differences in sway distances between the center of pressure (COP) and the center of gravity (COG), while considering limb dominance, in adults with and without LBP.
methodsThere were 26 subjects with LBP and 39 control subjects who performed three repeated unilateral standing tasks on a force platform. Outcome measures included the sway distances between COP and COG in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions, as well as the results of the fall efficacy scale (FES).
resultsA significant group interaction was demonstrated on limb dominance and direction for the sway distance (F = 5.46, p = 0.02). Specifically, the third trial in the ML direction while standing on the dominant limb indicated a significant difference in COP-COG sway distance (t = -2.30, p = 0.01). When FES scores were used as a covariate, a significant three-way interaction (dominance x direction x trial) was found (F = 4.06, p = 0.04).
conclusionAlthough no significant group interaction was observed for dominance, direction, and trial, the LBP group demonstrated an ability to leverage fall efficacy following repeated trials to reduce ML balance deficits. Clinicians should consider neuromuscular control and limb dominance when developing fall efficacy strategies for postural adaptations in adults with LBP.
