Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07591714 (The Effect of Intradialytic Eye Exercise on Physical Function, Balance, and Fall Risk in Hemodialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of eye exercises on eye-hand coordination, cognitive function, and balance in sixty elderly participants aged 60-70 years who were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group performed Gaze Stability Exercises (GSE) for 50 min per session, while the control group performed eyeball exercises for 10 min. Both groups trained twice a week for four weeks. Assessments of eye-hand coordination, cognitive function, and balance were conducted before and after the intervention. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), adjusting for baseline scores and gender, was used for between-group comparisons. ANCOVA revealed that the GSE group showed significantly greater improvements in cognitive function and dynamic balance compared to the control group (
