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

backgroundThe interpretation of evidence on the relationship between static and dynamic balance is complicated due to the several systems involved in postural control and the heterogeneity of the dynamic balance tasks used. The primary aim of this study was to explore the correlation between static and dynamic balance performance among healthy adults by means of the same center-of-pressure parameters. Given the importance of rapid reactive postural response in dynamic conditions, the secondary aim was to explore the relationship between dynamic balance performance and quadriceps strength and power.

methodsThirty-two healthy subjects (18 females; mean ± SD: age = 30.68 ± 13.31 years; body mass = 74.84 ± 15.18 kg; height = 1.75 ± 0.07 m) were assessed in static and dynamic balance conditions through a force plate that allowed computing the center of pressure trajectory. Static balance was assessed during an upright standing test and dynamic balance during an unstable board test. The same center-of-pressure parameters were calculated for both the two balance conditions: the 95th percentile ellipse area (Area95) and center-of-pressure mean velocity (MeanVelocity). The isometric quadriceps strength of the dominant leg was measured at 90 degrees of knee flexion with a load cell in steady and ballistic conditions. The maximal isometric strength and rate of force development were calculated.

resultsPearson's correlation showed non-statistically significant correlations between static and dynamic balance performance for both Area95 (R

conclusionsThis study suggests a lack of correlation between static and dynamic balance performance in healthy adults, indicating that both may need to be considered in balance assessments for a more comprehensive evaluation.
