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
backgroundChronic low back pain (LBP) has been reported with altered postural control, yet the trial-specific sensory adaptations underlying this disruption remain unclear. PURPOSE: This study was conducted to compare differences in equilibrium indices, sensory integration, and center of gravity (COG) sway regulation between individuals with and without LBP during repeated Sensory Organization Test (SOT) trials.
methodsThirty-four adults with LBP and 42 control participants completed three trials across six SOT conditions. The study employed a comparative repeated-measures design to examine differences in equilibrium indices, sensory integration scores, and COG sway between older adults with and without LBP across repeated trials. Disability level was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index, and pain intensity was measured with the Visual Analogue Scale.
resultsA significant main effect of trial (F = 24.99, p = 0.001) and condition (F = 371.44, p = 0.001) confirmed sensorimotor adaptation and condition-specific balance demands. The LBP group exhibited significantly lower equilibrium scores in the most challenging condition (Condition 6, Trial 3; t = 1.68, p = 0.04). Sensory analysis revealed a significant sensory type × group interaction (F = 5.06, p = 0.03), with reduced visual reliance in the LBP group during the initial trial (t = 1.88, p = 0.03). For COG sway, significant trial × sway interactions indicated direction-specific adaptation across repeated exposures, while condition × sway interactions reflected sensory-specific effects.
conclusionOur results demonstrate dynamic within-session sensory reweighting and altered postural strategies. Reduced visual reliance and subtle deficits under high-challenge conditions identify potential rehabilitation targets to improve balance and mitigate fall risk.
