Recreational older ballet dancers fall less with more effective reactive balance control than non-dancers after a slip during gait.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Recent work revealed that recreational ballet practice reduces older adults' fall risk after a standing-slip perturbation. However, whether such ballet practice can lead to decreased falls and better reactive motor control after a gait-slip among older adults remains unclear. This study investigated whether ballet reduces older adults' gait-slip falls and the possible neuromuscular and biomechanical mechanisms responsible for fall risk reduction. Protected by a safety harness, 15 older recreational ballet dancers and 21 age- and sex-matched non-dancers experienced a single unexpected slip while walking on a treadmill. The slip acceleration, duration, and displacement were standardized at 8 m/s
