The Role of Conscious and Unconscious Proprioceptive Sensation in Unstable Postural Balance: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. 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
Objective: Proprioception is the capacity to perceive the position of any body part, either consciously or unconsciously. This sense, in conjunction with the visual and vestibular senses, helps maintain postural balance. This study explores the relationship between postural balance analysis outcomes and proprioceptive sense tractography data. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two healthy individuals were categorized into two groups based on postural balance analysis: the unstable posture group and the stable posture group. Postural sway test measurements, such as sway area, track length, velocity, Romberg quotient, lateral sway, and anteroposterior sway, were recorded for both groups on fixed and moving surfaces over 20 seconds. Using the DSI Studio program, tractography of the proprioceptive sensory pathways was conducted on participants using brain diffusion tensor images (DTI). IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 software was employed for statistical analysis, with a p-value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Tractography of the unstable posture group revealed increased mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD) in the brain white matter, superior cerebellar peduncle, and middle cerebellar peduncle, while axial diffusivity (AD) values decreased (p<0.05). There was a notable correlation between the sway area in the unstable and eyes-open positions and the fiber count and fiber percentage in the right inferior cerebellar peduncle. Conclusion: The data suggest impairments in the pathways responsible for carrying unconscious proprioceptive sensations in individuals with unstable posture.
