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
Introduction: Postural control is an essential part of human movement. Measurements of center of pressure displacements by force platform are considered the gold standard for assessing postural control. However, the test-retest reliability of these measurements in field-based conditions is unclear. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability of center of pressure measures under field-based conditions, and assess the impact of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) on test-retest reliability. The study sample comprised 215 upper secondary school pupils (114 girls) aged 16-17 years, all drawn from the control group of a larger intervention study. There was a 12-week interval between the initial test and the retest. Measurements of center of pressure displacements was assessed during a bipedal eyes closed and a unipedal eyes open condition. Interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for six distinct measures in both conditions. Correlations between the change in postural control and height, weight, and BMI were assessed as well. Results: Trace length exhibited the best test-retest reliability in both conditions, achieving moderate to good reliability in the bipedal eyes closed condition (ICC = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.66-0.78). Test-retest reliability was higher for all measures in the bipedal eyes closed (ICC's = 0.53-0.73) compared to unipedal eyes open condition, and some of these measures approached zero reliability (ICC's = 0.03-0.48). Among body characteristics, only height was significantly correlated with test-retest changes in postural control ( Discussion: This study underscores the necessity of careful selection of postural control measures and thorough assessments in field-based research to achieve acceptable test-retest reliability.
