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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine if fall risk scores were affected by the interaction between muscle strength and visual contrast sensitivity. Methods: Ninety-one individuals aged 19-79 years completed assessments of knee extension strength, visual contrast sensitivity, and fall risk. Correlations and moderation analysis were completed in combination with analysis of variance. Data were categorized into groups: 1) higher strength-higher visual contrast sensitivity, 2) higher strength-lower visual contrast sensitivity; 3) lower strength- higher visual contrast sensitivity, and 4) lower strength-lower visual contrast sensitivity. Results: Knee extension strength via peak torque relative to body mass (R= -0.57, Conclusion: Lower levels of lower body muscle strength combined with lower visual contrast sensitivity interact to negatively influence fall risk.
