The effects of series elastic stiffness and cutaneous sensitivity on leg muscle reflex responses to unanticipated slips during walking.
Article in Experimental brain research, 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
Fall-related injuries are a large public health concern for older adults (OA). Delayed or inappropriate afferent signaling may hinder detection of balance perturbation (e.g., slip), predisposing OA to falls and less efficacious corrective actions. Perturbation detection is largely governed by proprioceptive acuity, consisting of sensory information from skin and musculotendinous receptors. While skin and muscle receptors' signaling thresholds increase with age, feedback from muscle may be uniquely delayed and diminished by age-related decreases in series elastic tissue stiffness which, during a rapid, unanticipated joint position change, could decrease the velocity of muscle stretch, delaying detection. Ultimately, the association between skin and muscle afferent signaling integrity and muscle reflex timing in response to walking balance perturbations has yet to be well established. This study evaluated the associations between plantar cutaneous sensitivity (PS) and Achilles tendon stiffness (k
