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: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by a combination of peripheral dysfunction and maladaptive neuroplasticity in central nervous system, leading to persistent postural stability deficits. This study aims to investigate the effects of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) combined with Bosu ball training (BBT) on the static and dynamic postural stability in individuals with CAI. Methods: A total of forty participants were randomized to receive either HD-tDCS + BBT ( Results: Significant group-by-time interactions were detected in the center of pressure-root mean square (CoP_RMS) during single-leg stance ( Conclusions: Both BBT alone and the combined HD-tDCS + BBT interventions enhanced static and dynamic postural stability in individuals with CAI, while the combined HD-tDCS + BBT intervention demonstrated significantly greater efficacy in improving postural stability in the ML direction compared to BBT alone.
