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
Purpose: Even though dancers have good postural control ability, ankle sprain is the most common injury among dancers, developing into chronic ankle instability (CAI). While dancers rely on visual cues during stage and practice, it is unknown how dancers with CAI perform balance in different visual conditions. This study compares (1) static postural control between eyes open and closed, (2) visual reliance, and (3) dynamic postural control among dancers with CAI, uninjured dancers, non-dancers with CAI, and uninjured non-dancers. Methods: Ten dancers with CAI, 10 uninjured dancers, 10 non-dancers with CAI, and 10 uninjured non-dancers. Participants performed single-leg standing with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions. COP area, velocity in mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP), and resultant velocity were calculated. Visual reliance (% modulation) was calculated using the percent change in COP values between EO and EC conditions. Participants performed a drop vertical jump and maintained balance to assess the dynamic postural stability index. A two-way analysis of variance (group and CAI status) and Bonferroni Results: A main effect of CAI status was observed in COP area ( Conclusion: CAI patients demonstrated postural control deficits in static balance under both eyes open and closed conditions compared to uninjured controls. However, dancers exhibited higher visual reliance than non-dancers, and CAI showed greater visual dependence than uninjured controls. This finding shows dancers use visual information differently, resulting in higher balance abilities.
