A Cross-Sectional Study on the Biomechanical Effects of Squat Depth and Movement Speed on Dynamic Postural Stability in Tai Chi.

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
This study aimed to explore the independent and interactive effects of varying squat depths and movement speeds on dynamic postural stability during the Part the Wild Horse's Mane (PWHM) movement. Thirteen male participants (age: 25.86 ± 1.35 years; height: 174.26 ± 6.09 cm; body mass: 68.64 ± 8.15 kg) performed the PWHM movement at three different squat heights, high squat (HS), middle squat (MS), low squat (LS), and two different speeds, fast and slow. Dynamic postural stability (DPSI) was assessed through the center-of-mass (CoM) trajectory and the center-of-pressure (CoP) trajectory. The analyses used two-factor repeated-measures ANOVA and statistical nonparametric mapping, with key metrics including anteroposterior stability (APSI), mediolateral stability (MLSI), vertical stability (VSI), DPSI indices, and the path lengths of the CoP and CoM. LS exhibited significantly greater CoP and CoM path lengths compared with MS and HS (
