Mapping the relationships among sleep, motor balance, and cognition in older adults: a systematic scoping review.

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
Introduction: Sleep, motor balance, and cognitive function are critical for maintaining functional independence in older adults, yet their interrelationships remain poorly understood. This systematic scoping review maps the evidence on pairwise and triadic relationships among these domains in older adults. Methods: Following the JBI Manual for scoping reviews, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Embase for studies (January 1, 2004-March 1, 2024) involving older adults (≥60 years) that examined sleep, motor balance, and cognition. Covidence facilitated a two-phase screening, selecting studies assessing all three domains. Data on study design, participant characteristics, and outcome measures were extracted, with evidence levels assessed using NHMRC guidelines. Results: From 1,367 studies, 33 (7 experimental, 26 observational) involving 67,237 older adults were included. Sleep quality showed weak to moderate positive associations with motor balance (e.g., Conclusion: Pairwise relationships among sleep, motor balance, and cognition are evident but weak. Longitudinal, multimodal intervention studies are needed to explore triadic interactions and inform integrated interventions.
