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

This study examines the relationship between stopping a planned gait initiation due to sudden environmental changes and maintaining body stability. Using a gait initiation version of the Stop Signal Task (SST), we studied changes in anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) during gait initiation and suppression. We found that trial-level variables, such as the time to start or stop stepping, interacted with biomechanical factors like the center of mass displacement relative to the base of support affecting performance. A critical biomechanical threshold was identified, beyond which stopping movement was unlikely. These findings highlight the strong link between limb action control and body equilibrium, offering a framework within a motor control paradigm. By integrating biomechanical elements, the model effectively simulates real-life scenarios, identifying key variables for studying neural correlations between action and postural control, and aiding in the development of injury prevention and rehabilitation tools for individuals with movement and posture impairments.
