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

The purpose of this study is to explore how headphones influence balance performance among young females. Given the increasing popularity of headphones among young people, this study aims to investigate their impact on balance, an area that has not been extensively studied. A convenient sample of 30 females between the ages of 18 and 25 years was included in this comparative study. Time Up and Go test and Balance Master System were used to test balance. The study used the Balance Master System to perform the following four tests; modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance (mCTSIB), rhythmic weight shift, step-up-and-over, sit-to-stand tests. Tests were conducted with and without headphones to listen to music. The results revealed that participants exhibited significantly better balance, indicated by lower sway values for most of the mCTSIB test when listening to auditory content through headphones (
