Single exposure to optokinetic stimulation through virtual reality decreases reliance on visual inputs for posture control.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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] The potential of using optokinetic stimulation (OKS) in conjunction with virtual reality (VR) for balance training merits further investigation. We examined the effects of a single exposure to OKS through VR on the visual dependence of postural sway and control among healthy adults. [Participants and Methods] A two-minute virtual reality (OKS) task was performed by 30 healthy adults without balance impairment. The center of gravity was measured before and after completing the task in the standing position with the eyes open and closed to ascertain the Romberg ratio, which is a measure of visual dependence. [Results] The Romberg ratio of the VR + OKS group significantly decreased from before to after task completion. [Conclusion] The findings indicate that OKS applied with VR enhances visual dependence. These findings facilitate the future use of VR in postural control rehabilitation.
