Evaluation of dual-task performance in ballet dancers.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to compare the dual-task performances of ballet dancers who use attention, concentration and balance skills in combination during both their training and stage performances and individuals who do not have a dance background and are not engaged in active sports.
methodIn the ballet dancers group (n = 30) and control (n = 30) group, the maximum digit span in which all individuals repeated the sequences presented in the PowerPoint program in the correct order and completely in the visual forward digit span and visual backward digit span test were determined. Afterwards, the Flamingo balance test was administered to all individuals, and the number of falls was recorded. In the evaluation of dual-task performance, maximum forward and backward digit spans were randomly presented to each individual, and at the end of the Flamingo balance test, the individuals were requested to repeat the numbers in the correct order and in full.
resultsWhile the dual-task performance resulted in a positive dual-task effect in ballet dancers, it led to a negative effect in the control group. In addition, ballet dancers displayed significantly better balance performances than the control group in both the single and dual tasks (p < 0.001).
conclusionIt was determined that ballet dancers exhibited better balance performance during both single-tasks and additional cognitive tasks than healthy individuals who did not dance and were not engaged in sports. It was interpreted that ballet dance training might be effective in improving balance and dual-task performance and preventing falls.
