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

backgroundStroboscopic vision (SV), known for providing intermittent visual input, has been recently integrated into postural training to improve proprioceptive awareness. This research examined the impact of SV on cortico-posture coupling in older adults, along with the related changes in postural control throughout a spectrum of feedback and feedforward processes.

methodsA total of thirty-three adults, averaging 66.1 ± 2.5 years of age, were tasked with maintaining an upright posture on a stabilometer, utilizing either complete or intermittent visual guidance. Stabilogram diffusion analysis (SDA) was employed to assess balance strategies based on postural sway, while phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) between postural fluctuations and scalp EEG provided insights into the associated neural control mechanisms.

resultsSV resulted in significantly increased postural sway as compared with that of full-vision feedback (p < 0.001). SDA results indicated greater critical point displacement (CD) (p < 0.001), short-term diffusion coefficients (Ds) (p < 0.001), and scaling exponents (Hs) (p = 0.014) under SV conditions. PAC analysis revealed that the coupling between the postural fluctuation phase and cortical oscillation amplitude in the theta and alpha bands of the fronto-central area was significantly greater in the SV condition than in the full-vision condition (p < 0.001). Additionally, SV led to increased beta PAC in the frontal and sensorimotor areas compared to that of full vision (p < 0.001), which negatively correlated to SV-dependent changes in open-loop gain (Hs) (p < 0.05).

conclusionsSV transitions postural sway towards an open-loop process and influences cortico-posture interactions in older adults, emphasizing a neuromotor adaptation to the uncertainty in feedforward predictions when utilizing intermittent visual feedback.
